Thanks, RiverTam.

Yes, there were several, 7 or 8. He was quite the ladies man. Even in his last years, he had a girlfriend, to our astonishment.[of course he is not that old, only 66] His current gf worked at our bank when I was a kid and has been chasing my father all these years. Well, she finally got him!

Think Kinky Freidman and add some craziness. Can you believe I come from that?? Most little girls went to the park with their daddies, we went to the bookies or the Top Hat bar!

Melody, I'm so sorry about your Dad. BTW, what does Jerry Falwell charge to officiate at a funeral?

How many ex's !!!!!! Amazing. When they are all together, perhaps you can ask each of them their favourite/worst memory of your dad. I'm sure they'd have some interesting tales to tell.
God bless, TT

If they are all there, they may just stand and point at each other... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
