My father is 100 today. He was born Feb. 14, 1909 in what was then part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. When he was born there were no TVs, radios, lightbulbs, satellites, rockets, computers. The airplane, car, phone and radio had barely been invented, electricity was not yet in widespread use. He's survived 2 world wars, 4 car accidents, a burst appendix, a twisted colon, shells and bullets missing him by inches and minutes, being kicked by a horse, a mugging, a manic/depressive wife, the death of his wife and 2 ungrateful children. He came here with the shirt on his back and a few gold rings in his pocket. From that he built 2 houses, went bankrupt, sold hotdogs on the street, bought 2 houses, started a business and made a small fortune, lost some of it then made it back. He finally closed the business 4 years ago. Most of what I have I owe to my dad. Thanks pops.
