Celebrating my favorite Veteran

Wore my Airforce blue today celebrating my father. I was born on Perrin Airforce base between Sherman and Dennison Texas. Pop attributes the Airforce with most of his success. His role was called traffic management which was essentially coordinating personnel and material all over the globe. The organization skills he picked up he stored away as he bounced around various jobs in his small rural home town after his discharge and return to my grandfathers farming and ranching operations. While driving an unconditioned propane truck a friend and WW2 veteran (had three troop transport boats sunk he piloted I. South Pacific) offered him a job at the tiny local bank. Pop with only a high school education stayed In that field became president of several banks and then CEO of a holding company taking the last place he worked from $80,000,000 to now over $4 billion. He attributes his leadership and organization skills from the Airforce for this success. I attribute his phenomenal character. Right is right and wrong is wrong was his motto. The guy people see in the public is the exact same guy at home. Guile isn’t in his make up. So today’s OOTD is a tribute to Ted McGuire

• 1995 MTM true blue herringbone suit

•. White on white shirt

•. Tattersall cotton pocket square

• Jos A Banks blue striped bow tie

• blue Pantherella socks

• black J Fitzpatrick captoes

• Seiko Model 5 Watch

Of course in typical pop fashion, when I sent him a copy of me in the blue suit because I was so proud of him he turned it around on how very proud he is of me. I am a very blessed man. And undeservedly so.
