Email To a Son

Hard to believe you graduated from college 25 years ago. Anyone who can climb from ruffian in a juvenile home to university graduate to business owner is remarkable. One day your sons will come to understand that. Your siblings as well. Couldn’t be prouder of your trek, a magnificent one, done the hard way, something I viewed from the valley. My father had a passbook with cash for me to go to college. He always had work, hard work, highly skilled, with no layoffs. There’s always a demand for hot wire electricians willing to climb tall poles and high towers, attack voltage in any weather. Life never steps back, forever upstream, and then suddenly we're salmon. A final thrust or two and we die. Thank God we have souls. Donal Mahoney
