Question

    In the depths of my memory, many things I did with my father still live.  These things have come to represent, in fact, what I call   16  and love.

    I don’t remember my father ever getting into a swimming pool.  But he did   17   the water.  Any kind of   18   ride seemed to give him pleasure.    19   he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.

    But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did.  I liked being 20 the water, moving through it,   21  it all around me.  I was not a strong   22  , or one who learned to swim early, for I had my   23  .  But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and   24   those summer days with my father, who   25   come by on a break.  I needed him to see what I could do.  My father would stand there in his suit, the   26  person not in swimsuit.

    After swimming, I would go   27  his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me   28   anything I found in his top desk drawer.  Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk   29   he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn’t be playing with his   30  .  But my father always   31   and said easily, “Oh, no, it’s   32 . ” Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get   33   an ice cream…

    A poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood,; the rest is   34  . ” And I think it is not only what we “look at once, in childhood” that determines our memories,   35  who ,in that childhood, looks at us.
