        “Down… ‘MEMORY LANE’… for RAYE in CALIFORNIA”

Since we were talking on the telephone…today – –  just thought that  this collage of photos – –  from the “German St. Vincent’s Home” will have you maybe   remembering some good old days – –  some thing  even special  – – that may have  happen…    so long ago???

This page of  “PHOTOS” is from  the …  “1950 – Souvenir Program”  – this book does have a good number of  “old”  PHOTOS – – and what I can not figure out…is that in all the years that I was there – – I can not find any PHOTOS – – of which  my brothers  DENNY  and TOMMY or even  of myself…   just nothing   shown – – all though in the PHOTO with the three girls on bikes – – they do have   someone  on one  of those bikes –  that does   belong to me?

As far as I can figure…  is that there must have been only some special ORPHANS  – that were used in the special dress up for a special time to be photographed.  

Like they say… In LIFE…everyone has their own fifteen minute of FAME and FORTUNE… and being in the Orphanage  – – was not to be a very special TIME for me. That must have been a TIME for a much deeper understanding …for me to learn…maybe something more substantial to the type of LIFE  and the WORK …including what my FAMILY would be   and their needs – – requiring something that you need … in the line of strength and to develop more FAITH in  how I  would be able to use those special talents  and to use  them to the best of my ability.

In other words… “We are here to LIVE and LEARN” – – do that and someday  – – better things will come along for all!

So…looking back…I think that I have done most of what I was   suppose to  do – and  – I am still learning  – – so that I can always do somethings a little  better – – than the day…before!

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAYE… in California – and many more…and celebrate all week – – that is the best way to have a BIRTHDAY!”

Also… sending special BLESSINGS from our CREATOR – – that all is well with you and your FAMILY – – now and forever!     D.V.
