Thanks, Bonnie, for the comment about my Dad.

He is a retired colonel and had taught schools for ten years after his military career, including 5 years as an elementary school principal in the *'front-line' before retiring again at 65. [*Not a true 'war zone' - the Communist China 'used to' send 'propaganda bombs' to the small islands near their border that were under the military control of Taiwan on a 'fixed schedule'

Taiwanese ('Free China') military would return similar 'bombs' with flyers and pamphlets to show Chinese citizens living along the coast line of the mainland how to 'seek freedom'. (There were several Airforce pilots who had flewn their airplanes to 'freedom' when I was growing up.) I believe one side was bombing on odd week days and the other side the even week days while Sunday was 'truce'

[False memory - it should be 'odd days and even days of the month'.]

Residents on those islands had all received military training and were well aware of the bombing schedule and would go to deep underground shelters during the bombing hours. Ocassionally there would be injuries or deaths besides property destruction - then the two sides would be in a tensed situation. Glad all of those were things in the past.]

Below is the statement Father had made in his birthday dinner party that I had posted on my FB [hopefully nobody would steal his identity

]:

Father stated that he's very content to have reached 96 with good health while his wife, children, daughter-in-laws and son-in-laws, grand children, and two great grand daughters are all still around. "What more can one ask for from life when in old age he is able to eat and drink and is well provided for with all the necessities? [Verbatim: "What else can one ask for when he has come to the stage of life when tea is served within reach and meals are served to one's mouth, and there's no shortage of clothing or food?" – a common Chinese expression meaning one is having a good life.]

He thanked all the younsters who had gethered to celebrate his birthday. He wants them to carry on the good tradition: strong family ties - brothers and sisters taking care of one another with love and trust... etc. He feels he's had a good life.
