Papa’s last job before retiring at the ripe old age of 55 (!) was with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firerarms.

At some point during his tenure he ordered a custom made rubber stamp from someplace, and subsequently used it at every opportunity, with every piece of correspondence that crossed his desk.

The stamp read:

My warmest personal regards,
Jerry Walters

There is nothing like that personal touch!

I remember that when he retired, the people in his office made him a cake with “My warmest personal regards” written across the top.
