Tom McClarren – back in 1970 – riding the hills and having lots of fun! Today these 40 acres   are now a small sub-division  – have very small yards and no longer a large back yard to ride a bike. Isn’t that always the way – just as soon as someone is having fun – the “powers” that be  – have a better idea for all of us. Everybody should have a big house and a “dime-size” piece of ground!

Thomas McClarren and Classmates of 1954 – Only 60 years ago and we were ready to do our part in this world – It would really be good if we could all  have a re-union and compare notes as to where we moved and what we did to make our “mark” in life?  Family and friends – let us hear from you?

1951 Christmas – St. Louis

Den,Karen and Tom 001

L to R   Denny McClarren – Eve Karen McClarren – Tom McClarren – not in the picture  Mary Ellen – I’m taking this picture.

The story; I will be graduating  from  8th grade  at   German St. Vincent Orphan Home  on June 8th, 1952 – and the St.Louis Court system and Catholic Charities –would never let us visit our sister Eve Karen  ( in foster-care system) and would not put her in the Orphan Home with us – so that we could at least know each other growing up – this visit takes place and only for one (1) hour in the Civil Courts Bldg. in the downtown St. Louis, Missouri – “COLD OFFICE.”

Eve Karen with Big Brother Denny!

Karen & Denny Jr 001

Denny McClarren  Jr.,  with little sidter Karen, on his Graduation Day! If this picture was in color – you would see Denny’s beautiful red hair and freckles!

This picture was taken while we were waiting in line for one of the rides – on graduation day there was an all day picnic going on with rides of all kinds – games of chance, for those who are ‘lucky’ – fast foods or a full chicken dinner!  Music all day for dancing –  A day to take pictures  and remember! Forever!
