Louis Van Thyn -- Dad -- was born 100 years ago today. He lived 89 years, one month, three weeks, a full life of happy times, much adventure, great tragedy, survival, a wonderful success story. He was most proud of his family, and provided well for them, and he would be so pleased today to see what has become of his two children, five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren (with one more to come soon). He was an in-the-moment person who could -- and would -- talk to anyone; he was a mostly upbeat guy who could tell stories and kept a positive view of the world. We miss him, and we'll always remember.
