Memorial Day
The following is a re-post from 2006:
In memory of Lt. Commander John Russell Good (1922-1999)
Viewing the officers in the second row, and looking right, my father is the fifth. This ship was his command during WW2. He also served in Korea, and tried to serve again in Viet Nam but was declined due to his age at that time.
Dad wore many hats in his life. He was an accomplished mason, taught English at Norwell High School, and served in several state law-enforcement and community-service positions. He and my mother were activist Democrats who worked on campaigns from JFK to local candidates J.Edward Roush and Birch Bayh. I was blessed to have them as my parents and I miss both of them dearly.

John, you have spoken highly of your parents on your blog over the years. I think that's very honorable and respectible. Who would have thunk you would have turned out to be such a decent son!!??? (LOL) You were blessed to have such great parents.
Nice post John.
A fine man your dad John. My dad was active military for twenty five years. He is still with us however, and although he has been a staunch Rethug his whole life, I still love him.
Besides, he told me last year he will never again vote for a Rethug, they are all crooked bastids :)
