1941: Fort Dix

And when he left his life in New York City this is what awaited him. (btw, he is not in this photo--I just thought it told a great story.)But, fortunately, his brothers came for a visit. His mom came, too, and we saw her in a previous post. She must've taken the photo. (Bob, Alan, Ralph, Joe)After they left, Dad sent a postcard to his mom:

Pope John Paul II Came to Phoenix...

and Uncle Alan joined Digger Davitt, Papal Mass Usher.Check it out. Uncle Alan is wearing a hat that says,
"Super Dad, DIGGER."

I just got off the phone with Uncle Bob. He had some great stories--I'm looking forward to adding them!
