Burbank, California 1948. Turning five.
I don't feel a day over 102 having arrived at the three fourths of a century mark yesterday. Some do not like to even mention that they have a birthday. Others may even call a birthday party a "reunion." I have always loved to celebrate my birthday. I don't know why. It may be genetic. I was born in July so I was never privileged to have a party at school. Many times all my friends would be out of town on my birthday or our family would be traveling cross country. But in my later years I have had several friends and relatives to make an effort to remember me with a card or a party!
My favorite cake from my folks. I love to dance.

For this birthday my family put together a picnic. It is great to have a birthday in July because most likely the weather will be nice!

Looking good on 3/4 of a century! With people living ever longer, you're just a kid! Happy, Happy Birthday!
