Happy Father's Day! I'd like to say thanks to my dad, William C. Duck, Sr., for his four years of service in the United States Air Force and for working in the DuPont factory in Seaford, DE, for almost 28 years. He used that job to finance a college education for myself and my sister (the first two members of his family to graduate high school and grow up with electricity and running water), and has stayed marrried to my mom for 49 years next month.
Thanks, Dad.
And Mom, I'll make sure you get the shout-out on Mother's Day next year.
