Dad, mid 1960s

Dad, mid 1960s
Early morning in a suit, so a good guess is that he's ready to leave for SFO (San Francisco Internat'l Airport). He's got that, "Let's get going" look. We would all drive him to the airport and wait at the gate until his plane was in the air, on his way to Norway, Peru, Greenland, or Djibouti. All of it was a very big occasion and we dressed up. He would be gone 2 months...5 months...8 months...home for a few weeks and gone again. I don't know how we stood it.

Ahh, the creases! The narrow tie! The horn-rimmed glasses! Relaxed and focused, that's a good reading of that pose and was, in fact, his predominant manner. I suspect he wasn't really as relaxed as he always seemed.

He built communication antennas, like microwave and other types. His contracts were with American embassies all over Africa one year, military bases and so on.

It's probably hard to get both...I don't know how it would be done, now.

It certainly was your job, to iron the creases :-))

I just discovered this comment, Rapi. Very funny, but no, I did not crease his pants! The dry cleaners did that. I was not above ironing shirts, however.
