My father, Erwin A. Thompson, turns 94 this November 9th. What could make a better birthday present than winning an award for a book you put a lifetime of heart into?

That's just what happened when his poetry book "Worth Remembering: The Poetry of Our Heritage--a family and friends poetry anthology and some of the stories" won a Gold Medal Award.

We'll pick up the Stars and Flags book award during Veterans Homecoming Week in Branson, Missouri. It'll be a family trip with my brother Gary Thompson and his wife Patty joining Pop and me.
