Dad was 13 years old, Mom was 7. I am sure any seed he had at that point was long spilled before my conception 12 years later.
Hubert, I have always enjoyed your contributions here. Am very sorry to hear of your misfortune as well as your sister's. You will be missed here.

I hope I get to see 84. I’m glad you got to Hubert, and I’m glad that you both are doing well under the circumstances. You’re a fighter. When you get ready...make your peace with your Maker...and stay ready. I will miss seeing your contributions here.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

I wasn’t here yet. My dad was on some island fighting Japs and thank Americans for the Abomb or I probably wouldn’t have been here. My mom was in grade school.

First and foremost, best to you and your sister in your health fight.
At that time Pop was busy in Germany and I wasn't even a twinkle in his eye.

Happy birthday tomorrow Hubert.
Good luck to you and sister on the cancer fight. Just give it hell as long as you both can.

Happy birthday, Hubert, and many happy returns. I wasn't born yet as my father was in the South Pacific. I didn't come along until 1946. First of the Baby Boomers.

We were living with rationing. Had to have ration stamps to buy, sugar, meat , gasoline, and on & on it went.
You were hoping that you did not get a notice that a father or relative had been killed or was missing in action.

1943? Dad was navigating and dropping bombs out of B24s. That and teaching other Bombardier-Navigators. Be Well, RZ.

Back then? Just turned 57 days before. Just passed 83 and on the upward climb to 84, wondering if I'll make it.

My father and one of his brothers were in the South Pacific, his other brother was in Europe. My parents didn't meet until after the war.
