I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge my Dad, Ralph Hendrickson who is 87 years old today. Here is a photo of the two of us from 4 years ago, the winter after my mother died. He is truly one of the “Greatest Generation” and I am so lucky to live with him across the street from the WWII Memorial where he is honored along with many other deserving Veterans. Caring for the elderly can be difficult, but I just found a quote by Katherine Hepburn that sums up my feelings. She said, “Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to give, which is everything”. Have a great day in our Beautiful City. All the Best,
Cindy Hendrickson

That’s a great Hepburn quote. Rubber Duck’s favorite Hepburn quote, “If you obey all the rules , you miss all the fun.

Great to see you and your Dad and glad he is celebrating another birthday. Maybe he can go swimming with us next summer? Join us for drinks afterwards?

Ralph, I salute you! To set the record straight, however, the Hepburn quote is more along the lines of: “Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get – only with what you are expecting to give – which is everything.” Hear, hear!
