My Dad is 91

My dad turned 91 this week and I surprised him by flying in on his birthday and spending a few days with him. Priceless.  We went through some old photos and he shared lots of stories.

Here is dad with my brother Rick.

Here he is as a class officer (Secretary at Ogden High 1940) on right

He played center field on the American Legion Baseball
team that took the state title two years in a row.
He was also on the high school baseball team.

He was quarterback of the football team.  Check out that sweet helmut.
There was a newspaper clipping that said, "Ogden High School's
1939 gridiron machine shifted into high gear to crush the Tooele team 26-7. Quarterback
Jack Dalton started the Tiger team off to a flying start by carrying a Tooele punt 45 yards
with the entire Tooele team in hot pursuit."

Here is dad on right with Ernest L. Wilkinson, then president of BYU.
Dad was president of Rotary Club in Provo & helped earn money to build
the Marriott Center.  His name is on a bronze plaque there.

Dad says his new goal is to live to 95.  I asked why, and he said because that is when his drivers license expires : )
