The Manta Ray

I tried to add this as a comment on Rob's Dad and the Ocean entry but somehow I can't find the correct password. Anyway, very beautiful memory Rob. I don't have any ocean memories of dad but LOTS of pool and lake memories. In particular wrapping my arms around the back of his neck that always smelled so pleasently salty sweet and holding my breath as he powered undered the water like riding on the back of a giant manta ray. And yes hoping he would bring me back up before I ran out of air. ok come to think of it I have Atlantic ocean memories of dad but the water wasn't deep enough there for them shenangins. Thanks for adding the picture of dad in hat holding grinning me. It is one of my favorites. hey I just realized that Manta "Ray" is a kind of pun! holy cow ... did our dad love a pun. Am I doing you proud dad? and a really bad pun at that. ok somebody take my metaphoric pen away.

Lots of love,
from one of his three D. Ds

Well sis Dad did love a pun and was famous for his ah unique sense of humor? I don't know I think he was funny but maybe that is because I've been accused of having his same unfunny sense of humor.
Well if I write too much more about Manta Ray's sense of humor someone might accuse me of a Ranta Ray...
