In what decade were your parents born?

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Early 1920s

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. 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.

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

Tell your story, Clarence. Fantastic parents, fantastic human beings, deserve mention of their stories!

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

Wow. That is all I can say.

I'll meet him in not too long- I hear he was a hell of a drinker and dad and son will hoist some brews in the heavens
