On this date (Dec 9) in 1944, my dad – Jack L Cunningham Jr – was born in Phoenix, AZ.<\/p>\n

Son of a western hottie and a sailor-turned-pipeliner, my dad was one of those guys who moved all over the place when he was growing up. I think he went to something like 64,319 different schools before he was in the 8th grade (I never<\/i> exaggerate!)… and then he ended up in a little town in southeastern New Mexico called Jal.<\/b><\/p>\n

One afternoon, while cruisin’ with his buddies, he met a pretty young thing named Twilla. As soon as he could, he married her and took her away from that one-horse town to the bright lights of Albuquerque<\/b>. It was in that fabulous hippie metropolis that they had me… one of the best things to come out of his college experience (if I do say so myself!)…<\/p>\n

He’s an outstanding man – excelling at just about everything he puts his hand to (he still talks about a successful ceiling fan installation from more than a decade ago!) – he taught me most of the good stuff I know… and some of the not-so-good stuff too!<\/p>\n

If you’ve had the chance to meet him, congratulations! If you haven’t yet, I think it might benefit you to put that on your bucket list!<\/p>\n

Happy Birthday, Dad! I love you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
