Your dad was, indeed, an amazing man! His career change was a real not only a 360, but at the time he made it he was pretty much an anomaly as a male hairdresser! <br />I have a great Trooper Seymour/Pennington story: I was about 4 yrs old and Mama and I were returning from Newport News in the 1952, red Hudson. We got a flat tire somewhere between Smithfield and Bacon's Castle, fortunately close to a little country store. I started crying, and of course Mama was not pleased with that! Miraculously along came your Dad & Pennington, and Mom pawned me off on them and they drove me to your home in the patrol car!

And I remember hearing my sisters speak of him and "Pennington" when the two of them came to our little town as state troopers. All the girls thought they were so handsome in their uniforms!<br />We do miss our parents everyday once they're gone.<br />Wonderful post today, Linda!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
