MARK, OUR YOUNGEST SON, was born after I had completed my active Air Force career. As a retired colonel, I enjoyed discussing with the children my time in the service. One day, Mark asked me what a colonel was, and I suggested he look up the word in the dictionary. "Dad, I think I found it," he said, a few minutes later. "'Kernel: the soft part of a nut.'"
