Happy Father's Day

Clyde and I are so grateful for the strong, righteous examples set for us by our fathers.  Today we celebrate them and their roles in the lives of their children.

Dad Lyons (with Mom) in 1977 or 1978, before children came along.

Dad takes us out to a ballgame to cheer on his Pittsburgh Pirates (Dad, Mom, Colin, Meg, Grandma & Tara) in 1993 or so.

I took this photo as Mom, Colin and I welcomed Dad home from a trip to the Middle East in the early 2000s.

The roles reversed a few years later (early 2008), when Colin graduated from 3rd Recruit Training Battalion in Parris Island, South Carolina.  Dad had been a Series Commander in the very same battalion in the late 1970s.

Dad sees me off on my way to Fallujah in mid 2007.

Dad McBride holds a young Clyde (Tyler) way up high.

Dad, Clyde and Grandpa McBride go for a ride in October 1982.

Dad and Clyde in 1988 or 1989.

Clyde and Dad enjoy a beautiful day on the Mesa in July 2010.

Clyde took this photo of Dad during a most enjoyable ride (they took me along!) in July 2010.
