    Anyone want to share? I scanned this one in from my mom and dad from 1941.

    Dad was 23 just back from WW2 for a few weeks and then back again, mom was 19. He spent 6 years in the army. Both are gone now. Interesting now to see them that young. Cradle robber...

    Gonna have to have mom send me the old stuff, but here's one of them with Uncle Fred(her brother) a few weeks ago in Big Pine Key.
    They met in our home town of Wading River, NY just before dad was drafted to serve in Vietnam.... They got married in Sept '69 and my brother was born end of February........ thistle :whistle::rofl: :lol:
    But this is them, dad is seated (on some kind of former BTU giving stump) in the middle.....he'll be 69 this year, mom will be 65 and her baby brother Fred will be 61....

    So that's where I came from......

    'Course my Uncle always said he was the milkman's kid.... Got a lotta my sense of humor from my Uncle:whistle: :rofl: :lol:

    I don't have any easily accessible of the early years right now, but here's one from 3/23/14 at Dad's 90th birthday. Mom would have been 85. We just celebrated his 92nd but the Parkinson's has him now in the nursing facility. Dec 25-14 download 026.jpg

    Locust, your father and My Grandmother In-Law were born with a month of eachother, she will be 90 later this month. Oh do I wish I could be there. We have a good time on the phone though:) She is not smiling here but is the other 99% of the time!

    My wife's grandmother will be 100 this summer and she still goes to play bingo whenever she has the opportunity. She broke her hip at 97 and they said she will likely not come through the surgery and if she does probably won't go back home. She proved them wrong on both counts.

    Apologies for the picture of a pic.

    My grandparents on their wedding day. Would have been in 1955 if memory serves.
