My Dad and Mom.

This is a picture of my Mom and Dad. They look happy. I estimate the year of the picture as 1920. Dad would have been 39 and Mom 31. The last two of their nine children were born after this picture. Warren was number eight and I was number nine. Unfortunately I do not remember this couple. Mom passed away when I was five. Dad had a massive stroke when I was 14 and was an invalid for the last 17 years of his life. I have supported myself since I was 14. I highly recommend having both parents around for most of your life!
