Norman Simon has been gone over twenty years now, but his pioneering spirit and his patriotism inspire me more with each passing year. I miss you, Dad. More than anyone I can think of, I wish I knew how you would have responded to recent events. No one would have enjoyed the Internet more than you.

He put me through college, and helped me get started in my first job in the computer industry. Gave me the best advice of my life. “Keep your eyes open and your mouth shut.”
I was pleased to take him and my mother out to lunch yesterday on Father’s day.
Remember the good times Mr. Simon, I’m sure there were many!
