My dad was born in 1955, and my mom was born ten years later in 1965.

And since were on the subject, my grandfather just turned 100 (he died in 1997), my late grandmother who he was married to was born in 1925. My other grandfather was born in 1939 and died in 2008, and my last remaining grandparent, my grandmother, just turned 72 last week (1942).

I apparently have a 102 year old great-great aunt in WV. I don't know if she has passed away since I last heard an update (and of her existence) two years ago Tongue.

What do you think vis a vis this old fossil? And my Dad sired me at age 45, so he was born in 1906. I doubt anyone on the Forum has a father born earlier. Smiley My trophy second wife mother, his second marriage, after his first wife died after wasting away for 10 years in a tuberculosis sanatorium (whom he visited most days over those 10 years (and had no sex over that period as a virile young man), and to pass the time, they wrote True Confessions stories together which were published in that Mag to pass the time), was born in 1920. I think my Dad was close to the most amazing man on Earth really. I have never meant anyone else remotely like him, and certainly no one more estimable (he is still my functional equivalent of a personal God), ever.

And then about the time I was born, my mother got a rare eye disease, the slowly blinded her over the ensuing 15 years, such that she could not read. Tough cards my Dad was dealt. He dealt with it all with courage and honor and loyalty. Thus he for those reasons, among so many others,  is God to me. All I can do is endeavor to get closer to his high standards of personal conduct, before I hit the bucket, and revert to dust, and am forgotten.

Torie... I feel the same about my father even though I never got the chance to meet him

Not quite able to match Torie's dad, but close.  My dad was born in 1915 and my mom in 1924, both in or in the environs of Lefor, North Dakota.  When I think about them, one thing that amazes me, more than they themselves do, is how much accumulated technological change they witnessed and went through in one lifetime.  Probably greater than any other generation in human history, I would think.

I call him Clarence- pronounced "Big Clarence" while I spell my name with a lower case in honor of him... he was a sailor and a hero who died fighting for me at Guadalcanal
