Pop-pop and Pearl Harbor

My Pop-pop died on December 5th, 1960, but for a long time, I'm not sure why, I thought he died on December 7th. So when Pearl Harbor Day Anniversary comes up, I always associate it with Pop-pop's death. I still do. It's hard to change old habits and I have some very wonderful memories of Pop-pop so I will continue to think of him on December 7th, I'm sure.

Since all my older relatives have died, a few years ago I decided to make a sort of memory book for them. I bought one of the small photo albums at Dollar Tree and got together the best photos I could find plus their obituaries which had all their relevant information. I arranged it oldest to youngest, beginning with Pop-pop and Grandmom. This little album has come in handy for writing stories, for looking up things on the census, and lots of other things, not to mention the memories it invokes everytime I pick it up.

until next time...c
