On This Day 50 Years ago It Was January 7th 1960. It Was Before Color TV And Before Cable. Grandma & Grandpa's House Was Without An Indoor Toilet.
Dwight Eisenhower Was President. A Young Senator From Massachusetts Named John F Kennedy Defeated Vice President Richard Nixon For President Of The United States.
713 Franklin Was The Home You Lived In When You Were Born. Franklin Grade School Was Just Across The Street. This Was Years Before The New Family Room Addition Was Built Onto The Existing House. The Baumgarts Were Our Neighbors To The South And Mr Roth Was Your Buddy To The North.
My First Reaction To Being Told I Had A New Little Sister Was Noooooo I Wanted Another Brother! Hahaha!!(Atleast I Wasn't Expecting A Pony)
I Was Just About To Turn 5 That Year. I Know It Must Make Both My Parents Feel Old Now That Their Youngest Child Just Turned 50 Years Old.
My Message To My Sister Is This. It's A Possibility You May Live To Be 100 Years Old. Odds Are That You Won't. You Already Know How Fast These 50 Years Have Gone For You. Looking Back All Those Years Doesn't Seem That Long Ago.
You Will Always Be My Little Sister And I Love You. I Know I Rarely Tell You This But I Wanted To Make Sure You Knew.
I Hope You Have A Wonderful Birthday. I Wish You Many Many More To Come.
Speaking From Experience, Don't Put 50 Candles On Your Cake. If You Do You May Want The Fire Department Standing By.
One Last Thing. It's Better To Be Over The Hill Than Under It.
Happy Birthday!
