Just One?

I have been fortunate enough to have many favorite moments in my life. Describing just one would not do the other moments justice. Obviously, there are some moments in your life that are bigger and more important than others, but that does not mean that they did not give you joy and happiness and will be etched into your brain until the day you die. So in chronological order here they are.

Bill Mazeroski’s home run in the bottom of the ninth of game 7 to win the 1960 World Series over the mighty Yankees.

My first hole in one July 31st 1968

My second hole in one June 13th 1970

Franco Harris’s Immaculate Reception December 23, 1972, my Dad’s birthday.

My wedding day December 14, 1974. Even though it ended in 1999, still one of my favorite days.

Graduating from Veterinary School June 1975.

Birth of my daughter July 7th 1977. That’s right 7-7-77. I will remember that date even when I’m senile.

First day of opening new veterinary building that I had built Oct 15th 1983

My third hole in one July 23rd 1988

My fourth hole in one November 3rd 2003

My fifth hole in one August 7 2005

The births of all 3 grandchildren May 4, 2007, July 22, 2009, and January 16th, 2015.

Last but certainly not least, an albatross (a 2 on a par 5) May 3, 2018

I would say that this list is not complete, but it covers quite a lot. It has been a great run and hopefully I will have a few more favorite moments to come. If not, this has been quite enough. I am one lucky man.
