My  father, an Army major, was conducting a field test when communications went dead.  Immediately, he jumped into a jeep and ordered a sergeant to speed to the command station.  When my father and the sergeant ran in, the group there cheered their arrival.  The commanding officer then stepped forward and shook my father’s hand.  “Don’t congratulate me, sir,” my father said modestly as he pointed to his driver.   “It was all the sergeants doing.”  The commanding officer nodded and turned to the sergeant.  “Congratulations,” he said.  The major’s wife just had a baby girl.”         Diane Dudman
