After the board meeting, Frank began to tell us of his childhood. “I grew up in San Pedro. My dad was a fisherman and had his own 　36 . But it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he 　37 enough to feed the family.”

He looked at us and said, “I 　38 you could have met my dad. He was a big man and strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he　 39 like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and overalls with the rain hat　 40 down over his brow. No matter how much my mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish.”

Frank’s voice 41 a bit as if he were back to his childhood. “When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. His truck was older than he was, which you could hear coming for 42 . As he would drive toward the school, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to 43 .”

“When the truck stopped, it would throw out a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like 　44 would be standing around and watching. Then he would 　45 　and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so 　46 for me at that time.”

He paused and then went on, “I 　47 that day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school, he had his 　48 big smile. He started to lean toward me, 　49 I put my hand up and said, ‘No, Dad.”

“It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this 　50 look on his face. My dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear 　51 . I had never seen him cry. He turned and looked out of the windshield. ‘You are right,’ he said, ‘You are a big boy --a man. I won’t kiss you any more.’”

Frank got a funny look on his face, and tears began to well up in his eyes as he spoke. “It wasn’t long 　52 that when my dad went to sea and never came back. It was a day when most of the fleet stayed 　53 but not dad.”

I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again, “Guys, you don’t know 　54 I would give to have my dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek ... If I had been a 　 55 , I would never have told my dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.”
