“Remembering Denny’s Million-Dollar-Smile!”

Aug 18th “Remembering Denny’s Million-Dollar-Smile!”

When you take time to remember someone – – WHAT is the “one” the one most remarkable… “thing” – – – that you will always remember with LOVE?

Just looking at this PHOTO… reminds me to let everyone – – focus on taking as many PHOTOS as is possible – – and at all stages of LIFE. You may be young and ask, “Why take so many PHOTOS?” “Why would someone want too!?

There will come a day… when you are older and grey – – and you would like to show your children and grand-children what you looked like when you were young. When you are seen older looking – – some white and or grey hair – – maybe even a little on the “bent over in the back side” due to operations – – and you no longer move in a hurry – – and all you can say, “There will come a day when you, too will look and feel like I do, NOW!”

“BUT”…WHEN you can sit down with the youngsters – – and pull out a couple of boxes and or “PHOTO Albums” – and just take the time for a real “Show and Tell” session – – telling all about you and what you were doing. The questions will be many…what was the occasion… who is that and is it someone we should know… where are they now… is it possible that we can visit them???

Something even better… leave a “legacy” of these PHOTOS and with a story … who is in the photo and what they are doing and if at all possible – if there is a way to get in touch with them – – with the latest of information – – you never know – you just may have an eager historian in the FAMILY.

In the above PHOTO… my brother DENNY McClarren came home for “Thanksgiving Holiday leave” – – I had just brought home… a large ham – – and just to see if it was a very good ham – – just had to try a couple of slices – – and that is what I have in my hands. But… with the excitement of the HOLIDAY SEASON – – just had to give DENNY a complete up-date of so much news – – and as I talk and eat – – DENNY must be thinking – – that with all of this chatter – – he is not getting a chance to put a word in – – so the best thing to do is just “SMILE” and his “SMILE” with his beautiful red hair… looking so good – – just lets me carry on.

So this is one PHOTO – – that I am so happy to have… as it always brings back the good ole days – – when the whole wide world was on track. LOVE DENNY – – up and on his favorite “CLOUD 9!”
