My father was a merchant with a small chain of clothing stores in little towns across north Georgia. He made a good living selling work boots and overalls as we four kids grew up, each of us graduating from a local private school and heading off to college. But though we went off to summer camp yearly, there were rarely family vacations. Those few family trips that did occur involved packing up the car and driving 12 hours to visit the grandparents in Florida. My father rarely had time to take off or travel, unless it was business related. He and my mother did go on occasional buying trips to New York, and they’d go to the big annual Shoe Show at the Houston Astrodome. Even then, I recall my father always having to be near a phone (no cells back then) and check each store for the day’s receipts, handle any unexpected situations via phone, and pray a lot that there were no fires, robberies, or burst pipes to ruin the merchandise. He also knew that how he managed the business would affect all those employees who worked for him. It was a great responsibility.

 They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up. 
 Their lifetime…
