This is an exceptionally fine post. It tells so much about your resistance to "Knowing," while at the same time going deeper for us (the readers) into learning about who your father was and wasn't among his peers. Many surprising moments in it.
I'm only sorry to learn that I too missed, "knowing" that Bob Parker had died.
Yes, but the important thing is that step by step you're realizing it. And it's a good lesson for all of us...how we resist knowing the secrets. And as you infer, it goes back to "childish" ways of seeing.

Thanks so much, Marnie. That really is a major theme, isn’t it?
