I miss my Dad every day. I had the privilege of living with him for the last 5 years of his life – it was such a gift. We became real friends. This picture was taken down by the pond on the land in Wisconsin for a little book of his stories. Grandpa always told bedtime stories about Slippery and Slider, two river otters who lived and played in a place much like where we lived. His Grandson, Christopher Landt, had him record the stories and then published them in a book. When I was there with him we were working on a second edition that would be published by a local publisher and could be distributed more widely. I still have a couple of those books – contact me if you would like one. Unfortunately he died before he could see the finished book, but he did see the galleys. I was able to give a copy of his book to every fourth grader in Wisconsin Dells after his death.
