Dad's Retirement Day

Mom and I went to Sears in East Los Angeles in 1992 to take some photos of Dad on his last day as a Sears Employee. He posed for me in the bright sun. This is taken standing in front of the Auto Center. The original is in color. I like this expression. He is like here she goes again! Taking my picture. I am just glad he didn't have those glasses that turn dark in the sun. He wore them alot after that. This is my favorite one from that day. He was 60 then. His badge says Gene Vanatter.

Another good one. His expression also bespeaks a satisfaction of having a good career, taking care of your family, and a job well done. (And that he gets to leave it -- at a relatively young age. I know I ain't gonna be retiring in my early 60s.)

Good work Gina.

It's one of my favorites of that day. He does look like "I'm outta here and I'm ready !!
