Brother Don had a birthday today, one of many since this picture was taken during the summer before his 5th birthday. We have been like "brothers" since he was born. I am 4 1/2 years older and announce to the Grandparents when they came to see him that, "We have a real baby at our house". He seemed to inherit some of the best Genes and traits of both Mother and Dad. He certainly has always had the "outgoing" personality of Mother and Dad's honesty and ambition. His life and family have been a tribute to both of them. He and Gladys have a wonderful family that has extended into the 4th generation. He has slowed down from a busy Auctioneering schedule but devoting more time to playing golf. When we had our "birthday" phone conversation this morning, he reported having played 2,580 holes of golf so far this year. He is hopeful that tomorrow will be such that he can get in the next 20. He and Gladys have missed very few family athletic events over the years. Fortunately, much of the family is within driving range and appreciate all the things the "Folks" do for them, including keeping up with them on Facebook. Happy Birthday Don.
