“HAPPY BIRTHDAY…TOMMY….”
“If this PHOTO of baby – TOMMY – is 76 years old…then little TOMMY…must also be – 76 years old TODAY!”
Do I look like an ANGEL…with my arms out stretch…just in case the “baby” should look like he will fall…in that case …I better …for sure catch him…or else …you guessed right…it would be my fault…was not doing a perfect job…watching over and protecting the “baby” from all harm!
This PHOTO has traveled all over…from the original frame …that took a heck of a lot of wear and tear…as this PHOTO was always on display…no matter where we live…you would see this PHOTO. BUT… the new brass frame that I put this PHOTO – – into… when we were living in FLORIDA…. and had side frames that would come forward and in the closed position all glass area would be protected …from maybe breaking…but NOW there is a crack in the glass on the one frame…and …I sure am glad that the people in the PHOTO…did not get damaged in all the extra wear and tear of LIFE…while being in this PHOTO???
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY…TOMMY… and many more!!!!!!”

“Little Sister wishes BIG BROTHER – Happy Birthday!”
I sure hope that everybody is wishing my “BIG BROTHER” – a very “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” – it is his 75th – so… Everybody – from there to here – and with the loudest and best “TUNE- IN” voice that you can muster up – let’s all on “3” – a 1 and a 2 and a 3 … join in “Happy Birthday TOM aka MR. WONDERFUL!” “Have the best and biggest “Birthday Party” – and many, many more…
This is little “KAREN” – and I do not think that everyone sang as loud as they could have – so if everybody would try again – and cooperate – sing your best and as LOUD – as you only know how – – you know that a lot of these people are getting older by the minute on earth – – – and I hate to say it – – but – some are even a little hard of hearing! I was doing my best to hear everybody sing – – but I know that not everybody up here – in Heaven heard – that which I told them that they should be expecting to hear – – – so now let’s do it – again… – so that everyone in the highest of the heavens – – can enjoy what we are doing for the “75th” Birthday for TOM McCLARREN – – my BIG BROTHER and let us all – – – express our “LOVE” for all of the FAMILY!” “LOVE” from – – KAREN – to you all!!!

1954 Gradutates – St. Vincent Home
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?

Tom’s First Fall
Half-way through ,1942, and America, is still at War, my parents sell a perfectly good house in Pine Lawn. Without a house in the plan to buy, one must rent, and during the early 40’s, even if you had the money, there was no real estate available, especially with three children!
An apartment on Clara and Page, was found and we move in. We were there two months, as finally a house was purchased in North St.Louis.
A couple of days before we moved, Tom got his-self up and into a window sill. The screen was old and weak, giving way, as Tom leaned forward to look out. Down and Out, Tom went, a drop of almost 5 feet, our apartment was on the first floor.
Thank God, for having sent rain, for the preceding week, Tom landed in a pile of muddy soil. No damage to Tom!
