Nine decades-plus can teach you a lot about life, but an hour with your 92 year old DAD will feed your soul forever. This Stand Up & Speak Up episode was another Labor of Love for me and for our family.  Too many of my friends lament the passing of their parents but more wish they had another hour, or another phone call with their folks.  "If only" is what I was hearing and I didn't want to have those regrets. Dr. Jack Butz has led an extraordinary life.  His father passed at 46 years old and Jack lived in a home with "lot of women" which included his mom, his aunt, his sister and a friend of hers, and probably some other "old ladies" that I'm missing.  There was no "free ride" for Jack and he put himself through the University of PA and Penn Dental School.  The Air Force provided a good starting point for his career as a dentist but life in Woodstock, Vermont cemented his "working years" until his retirement to Florida.  Author of "My 50 Golden Years", Dr. Jack chronicles the lives of his 10 special Golden Retrievers and he admits that his last one, Angel, was his favorite.  Family history took on a golden spin when he wrote about the dogs (births/deaths) and threw in nuggets about his four children!  Seeing the world through the eyes of a gentle GIANT who has seen it all the last 92 years was tender yet realistic.  It's time to take an hour with your parents if you're are fortunate to still have them around.  Life isn't guaranteed and each day is an opportunity to learn.  Good luck with having YOUR conversations.
