Thanks everyone.

Sven, dad has seen allot in his day, a true navy man who has been around the world and spent fifteen years working in every state in the country. He knows I flipped out years ago. I told my dad that I owed him for the good luck but maybe I should thank Elvis also. I actually found the mug in of all places in the tiny town of Paw Paw. Really! As we waited to turn into the store dad waved to a guy who is always on the little main drag of the town waving to passing traffic. He always has a costume or theme for the day. The gentleman is in a wheelchair and enjoys waving to the folks. Fridays theme was Elvis from Blue Hawaii complete with aloha shirt, Hawaiian guitar, lei, gold glasses and pompadour wig. Maybe a true sign from above. There is allot to be said for small town America and thanks to Elvis too.
