Personal History



 
My sister Sandy and I are working with my Dad to get his personal history done.  It has been a wonderful experience getting to know more about my amazing Dad.  We have laughed and cried as he has told us stories from his youth.  We are through his junior year of high school.  He was in "Our Town", played in the band and orchestra and was in student government-can you say "highly motivated"?!  During the session as he was talking about his high school years, my sister asked, "Dad, who was your first girlfriend?"  He said, "Do you want to see her?"  Heck yea!  So-the greatest thing-he pulled out his yearbooks from high school, yep-1940 and 1941, and we saw her and got a flavor of his high school years-priceless!
