papa is and always will b the funniest grandpa in the world he is such a grump its so funny cant take him serious. me my mom mimi and papa all went on a LONG road trip to new orleans my mom and papa were up front me and mimi in the back we were driving in a pt cruser btw, all we did was talk and listen to music mostly country it took forever to get where we were going and i will now never drive longer then a hour in a car but that is 1 of the best timea we had together it was amazing all of us and our stuff cramed in that little car but the whole time was worth getting car sick over. when we got there we got to c so many family members it was like a family get to gether. we were going there to go see one of the family get married, it was so cool we got 2 do it. the funny thing about papa is he never broke my promises he said that he was gonna b at my graduation and he would take me 2 new orleans and he did both now that is the perfect papa

I am Dave’s “baby sister”, as he always called me. Even though he was 10 years older than me I remember how much he was my protector from our younger bother, Woody, who was 18 months older than me. I also remember when he went in the Navy when he was 17 and how very sad I was for him to go. But how wonderful it was when he would surprise us usually in the middle of the night) by hick hiking home from Caif. to Texas. I guess that was all meant to be because if he had not joined the Navy, then the Coast Guard, I would never have met my husband, John. It was Dave and Joy that introduced us in New Orleans in 1966. Dave must have thought John would now be my protector, and in hind sight, as any of you that know him, he sure has been. Of course Joy thought he was great because he is California born like her. So I will always be grateful to them both for that. Bubby I’ll miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Barbara Ann here; Well I am the oldest of the bunch. 18 MO. OLDER. So much could be said about my brother who was a twin we lost his bud Donnie many years ago. We could have said he served 4 years in the NAVYDURING THE kOREAN WAR and was on a LSD they took the troops in by boat. A very dangerious job usually one way trip but he survives. You could also say when he was stationed in port oconnor they lived in a rent house that was on the right coming into POC. It has since been moved to the back of Tigrett Realistate. Still standing. I could say a lot and yes he was always happy go lucky guy. I did forgive him for hanging my prise doll in a tree and her head hit the ground. Love you Bro Your big sister. Barbara Ann
