We Were Babies Once


Here's ol' Gus either about to take his first solo steps, or pretty close to them.  In carefully looking at this picture just now, for the first time in nearly 67-years, I saw something new to me...my father's WWII AAF wings are pinned to my chest !  


Little more than a year before this picture, Dad was in the nose of a B-17 bound for Germany, hoping like hell they wouldn't blow him out of the sky.  That's Mom, the bobby soxer, helping out with a steady hand; she's 24 and had already soled sometime before this.  Pretty amazing to contemplate what has transpired between those first steps and this morning's. 

Send one of yourself in with a short description !

  Betty Jane DeVoe - a charmer

Tom Koebernick - Table Dancer !
I still have that table...it belonged to my great grandmother.

 Sam Scott III - Always a serious kid
