David,

Thanks for sharing this memory of your father. It took me back to a pleasant place in my own life that I haven't visited in years.


[quote=davidcpa]My father's only employer was the U.S. Gov't. Out of college and into the army, WWII, and from the army to the IRS.... My dad worked a lot at home. In fact our dining room table was his office and he use to keep U.S. Gov't ballpoint pens in the buffet table... [/quote]

Except for a different government agency, this is my dad. He died 11 years ago. He was the most honest person I have ever known, and he too had rules about the use of those black ballpoint pens!
