Progress

Will show some pics Sunday afternoon. Been doing a little more stitching, as my right eye permits. Still dealing with the Bell’s Palsy, but seems to be slowly improving.

Until then…

Thank you for being my daddy for the last 40 plus years. You were my rock when I needed one. You were my best friend. You are now in our loving Lord’s arms and healed of your pain.

More gold medals followed as Zimmermann wrote a march for each succeeding class.   In 1906, Lieut. Zimmerman was approached by Midshipman First Class Alfred Hart...
