Spotlight by Suzy

Milo is a very hard worker and a great provider. He is enjoying his job with the railroad and is currently in Sheridan, WY filling a vacancy for a couple weeks. He has moved around quite a bit, but has learned a lot and has seen some beautiful country. He is currently enjoying driving a grapple truck and is hoping to bid a job soon as a track inspector. We always look forward to having him home on the weekends. He usually doesn't get around to the things he wants to get done cause there's always something going on with the kids.

Milo enjoys watching the kids play sports and supports them in all they do. In fact, he's usually the one encouraging them to try new things and think outside the box. He encouraged Alex to play golf this year and has started to get into it himself, so we got him some clubs for his birthday. He enjoys going over to the driving range with Alex and whacking balls.

The kids get their deep thinking and problem solving skills from Milo, and I'll usually find them all sitting around the kitchen table discussing some deep topic or learning something about history or politics. The kids have all developed a love of reading over the years and have learned that from Milo as well. We recently cancelled our Dish because everyone would read in their spare time instead of watching TV. Milo is always reading some huge book that is way over my head. He just finished a book on Stalin and one on Mao and is always teaching us what he learned.

Milo is very smart and has always been able to accomplish anything he sets his mind to (within the limits of being color blind). He is very supportive in all that we do and is a great dad! Happy Birthday Milo. We love you!
