The phone rang Wednesday in my office.

The man said he was a bit surprised to reach me so easily. _(It doesn't happen often. _I'm not in the office a lot each day before my radio show.)

He identified himself as Ron Archey. _"I'm calling in reference to an article you wrote entitled "A Veteran's Day Tribute."

I was, of course, very familiar with the article. _It was a tribute to my father, who had passed away in October, 2011. _I published it on Veteran's Day of that year and, in it, also mentioned the members of my immediate family who had served in the military.
