My Dad and the "Duke" Room

My dad past away on November 13, 2010. My mom had cleaned out items that belonged to my dad. At Christmas time when I was in Florida with my mom, she had given me some items that belonged in my dad's bedroom.
 
I have turned my middle bedroom into the "Duke" room. My dad was a huge John Wayne fan, as well as I. It was something we had in common. We both liked watching the "Duke." 

My mom had bought these plates from the Bradford Exchange for my dad. Larry just put the plates on the wall for me the other day. 


My mom had also given me to photos of the "Duke" that were given to my dad as gifts. Those too are also on the wall.




I am so excited that I have these items. Whenever I walk into that room, I think of my dad. I miss my dad dearly.

My dad was a wise, gentle and caring man. This photo was taken in September 2010 just two months before he passed away. I love you dad and miss you so much! You are always in my heart and my memories!

The plates and wall photos look nice Teri. I am glad you and dad had the "Duke" in common.
