A Father's Day Photo


It took me forever to find this, packed away in some box in the rectory.  My dad is the fellow at far left bending over the little kid with the small shovel.  It was taken at the groundbreaking ceremony for my home parish in Ohio circa 1960. 

The reason it's a Father's Day photo?  I remember this day distinctly as one of my earliest and fondest memories, as I'm the little kid with the small shovel.  Even then, I was performing physical labor on behalf of a parish.
