Sorry for such unoriginal titles, but I like to have the title spell out what is in the post so I can find it easily. My Dad has finally retired (well at the end of this month) from Intermountain Farmers Association. He worked there for 30+ years 15 of which he served as President and CEO. We have a lot of good memories associated with IFA and my Dad deeply loves the company that he worked for for so many years. Most people change jobs at least a few times in their lives. My dad has worked there from the time he was in college until retirement. I have watch him work very hard my whole life and I knew that where he worked must be pretty special for him to be so dedicated to it.
This dinner was given at the Little America in honor of my special father. There were about 250 people in attendance and they all loved and respected him. He was given a standing ovation twice that evening and he deserved them. Everyone should have the opportunity to hear the things said about their fathers as I heard about mine that night. Many people talked about my dad's integrity and honesty. I think those are two of the best things that can be said about anyone. I am very proud to be the daughter of such a person.
My mom has been there with my dad every step of the way. They are two peas in a pod and definitely complete each other. There were a lot of wonderful things said about my mom too.
We got to take a picture with everyone there. My aunts and uncles also came to support my dad on this special night. It is a night I will always remember.
