Happy Father's Day!

 


To all the dads out there, best wishes for a great day!

Here are a couple of Paco dads...

Me and the boys, Arizona days.



Deputy Paco, handing out, I dunno, invitations to the Sheriff's Department Square Dance Ball or something (don't know who the state trooper is).


Many years later, here's Old Paco enjoying his second career as what he called a "garbage magnate", founder of the Alcart Corporation, a waste disposal service. Y'all probably remember the slogan: "Satisfaction guaranteed, or double your trash back."


Update  Here's a nice Father's Day prayer.

  1. You and the boys look like you're going to whoop some butt! Nice!

    Ditto your father. But in his deputy uniform ... ... complete with a six shooter, ready to rumble! And a southpaw, huh?

    1. I wonder what kind of revolver that is. This would have been the early 1950s, so I imagine it's something with a nickel finish.

    2. Probably a .38, although .357 is possible, those being two calibers often used by police back when.

      No idea on the make and model, of course.

  2. Are you sure you're supposed to be wearing white hats?
