If I had been invited to mom and dad's wedding reception I know what gift I would have brought. A camera. We basically have no visual documentation of their first year and a half together.
Oh yeah. Except for this one important event...
Here are some tidbits from Mark's baby book.
Daddy took my picture right after I was washed. (Bribed the nurse) I was the biggest baby in the hospital while I was there. At the time I was born, most hospitals had a ruling that only fathers could visit. I was stubborn and kept mom waiting (The doc thought I should have been born sooner) so they started mom on her due day at 8:00 am. She only had to wait 4 1/2 hours-1 hr. hard labor.
**LeeAnn says, "And I do believe mom was knocked out for his delivery. Right mom?"**
Dad sent mom a dozen long stemmed red roses.
The President was John F. Kennedy. The Governor was George Dewey Clyde. The Mayor was J. Bracken Lee.
New inventions and gadgets of my era: self defrosting refrigerators, self cleaning ovens, vaccines for polio and measles, kidney transplants, electric can openers, and TOP-LESS BATHINGSUITS!
**LeeAnn says, "And I thought bikinis were bad!"**
Happy Birthday Mark!
Aaaaaaah, how sweet!
