Another pleasant serendipitous find: a photo of "Dino" in a very casual home setting with his sons, making men out of them. I always admired Dean Martin, especially when I was a kid. He seemed the ideal father, classy, warm, handsome and someone for whom drinking made him cooler not scarier. This is the sort of scene fathers had with their sons. "Make a muscle, boy!" You just wanted to be a man.
Mr. Stroud, how delighted I am to have come across your prose on our Dino. Never was, never will be anyone as cool as the King of Cool...oh, to return to the days when Dino walked the earth. Know that your thoughtful reflections are being shared this day at ilovedinomartin.
