“Daddy’s Birthday is coming up real SOON”
“This is a very old and well worn PHOTO of my “DAD” – Denny H. McClarren Sr. – this PHOTO was still in his wallet – when he passed away – so it did get lots of wear and tear – “Daddy” was stationed in the PHILIPPINES” – and he did sign up for three… two-year terms, and in his last sign-up term… was injured… and sent home.”
and … this next photo that… I am taking, getting directions coming from “DADDY” … as I, just may be all of “Nine Years old!
This PHOTO is MOM – TOMMY – DENNY Jr. and our DAD, Denny, Sr., and… “DADDY” on the Pavilion – with one foot on the bench, leaning forward…
” Daddy is giving me, some directions on how to take this PHOTO…”
Still it is not as clear as one would want it, but the memory is with us forever, and this visual is just a reminder, this was a “VISITING SUNDAY” at SAINT VINCENT’s.”
Looking at this PHOTO… I see a couple of faces of some of the other children… sitting on the bench where we are enjoying the “VISIT” with our “PARENTS”.
My Mom and Dad also enjoyed the other kids as they often had extra of the food that they brought for us… and the kids enjoyed talking with them…and would just hang out with us… as sometimes my DAD would also bring “Watermelon” to be shared with our friends.
We always enjoyed sitting at the long tables on the Pavilion…and with the long benches… some of the other children, who never had Visitors… would like to talk with our Parents and have some FUN… on a Visiting Sunday!
“Happy Birthday DADDY… it will be here, in just two days!”
