a very special pour

Hey all This is Dixiesilvergirl, and today I am sharing This very special pour that the miner did for me.
My father was a fireman for over 30 years, I spent my whole childhood seeing him leave when the plectron went off.
It was a small town volunteer fire department and he knew every person whose house he was called to. He drove the big ladder truck and I got to ride on it in every parade. They hung the city Christmas decorations and had city cookouts! I have lots of great memories of my Dad and his being a fireman is a big part of that. Here is a picture from one of the many parades.

My Dad was a big coin collector and every Tuesday night the firemen played penny ante poker and although I didn’t like it that he was gone, I knew that when he got home we would search through his coins to fill the blue books he kept. I didn’t really understand the coins but I like the time we spent together. I had forgotten the fun of coin hunting, until we got into stacking and now we have had many great coin hunts as a family, definitely right up there with board games for family fun!!
My Dad passed away 26 years ago, when things were passed along, between myself and my siblings I got his Fireman Badge. This is proudly displayed in our family room, the kids have heard a million stories and it always makes me smile. The miner had the idea that he could cast the badge. I was speechless what a great memorial.

Thanks for reading and Happy Stacking!
