I suppose I regret as many failures as other fathers do. I regret not taking him fishing more than I did. but the darned kid caught more and bigger fish than I ever time I did 1 regret I didn t take him hunting more I don't know of anything I enjoyed more than hun ting as a young man though I've nearly given that up in recent years I regret I didn't learn his sport, golf, which he pursues with that same distinctive determination But with the regrets there is some pride in the things we did do.

Over the years he's learned to do and has done nearly every necessary job at the winery He even learned a most critical lesson sort of by accident while we were bottling one afternoon But by far the greatest pride his mother and I take is in hav ing raised an inquisitive mind Our son's curiosity is immense, sometimes without his even knowing it We feel great pride in instilling in him in the value of knowledge His tendency is toward mathematics and science but he also studies business, computers and the like Maybe it was the model rockets we made and launched years ago. maybe it was the movie Star Wars, but he wants to be an Aerospace Engineer and design space ships He has a gtxxl foundation to pursue such a career That's why high schixil graduation will be special at our house this year Our own will be there on the stage And his diploma will mean an unpor tant step toward a lifctunc of dreams I'm not so naive as to believe other fathers have not felt as I do.
