After the board meeting, Frank began to tell us of his childhood. "I grew up in San Pedro. My dad

was a fisherman and had his own 16 . But it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he 17 enough to feed the family."

He looked at us and said, "I 18 you could have met my dad. He was a big man and strong

from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he 19

like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and overalls with the rain hat

20 down over his brow. No matter how much my mother washed them, they would still smell of

the sea and of fish."

Frank's voice 21 a bit as if he were back to his childhood. "When the weather was bad he

would drive me to school. His truck was older than he was, which you could hear coming for

22 . As he would drive toward the school, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to 23 ."

"When the truck stopped, it would throw out a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front,

and it seemed like 24 would be standing around and watching. Then he would 25 and

give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so 26 for me at that

time."

He paused and then went on, "I 27 that day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss.

When we got to the school, he had his 28 big smile. He started to lean toward me, 29 I

put my hand up and said, 'No, Dad."

"It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this 30 look on his face.

My dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear 31 . I had never seen

him cry. He turned and looked out of the windshield. 'You are right, 'he said, 'You are a big boy --a

man. I won't kiss you any more. '"

Frank got a funny look on his face, and tears began to well up in his eyes as he spoke. "It wasn't

long 32 that when my dad went to sea and never came back. It was a day when most of the

fleet stayed 33 but not dad."

I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again, "Guys, you

don't know 34 I would give to have my dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek ... If I

had been a 35 , I would never have told my dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss."
