Photo survives a lifetime!
Denny H. McClarren – on back of photo – 1st Infantry Div., Fleet Philippines.
From the looks of this photo – the “war” was in the billfold. This is the oldest of photos of my Dad. Never a baby picture – no teenage photos – times back then were bad, and if you wanted to eat – you would join the ARMY – and work in the kitchen. My Dad was a very good Chef!

“I Took This Picture!”
My Daddy always looks like Clark Gable in Any Number can Play – movie. My Dad alsays has a cigarette in the mouth, no matter what he is doing and when you see Clark Gable in the movies smoking – you see his twin – my Dad – they are both from Ohio! Clark Gable, birthdate Feb. 1st, My Dad’s Feb. 2nd. This picture was taken in front of German St. Vincent Orphan Home – 1948.
