HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODD
Today is Todd' nineteenth birthday. For Nancy and I it seems like only yesterday.
A little piece of family history. There is fifty years difference in our age and coincidentally there is fifty year age difference between my grandpa and I.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!TODD






Photo two was taken about a month or so after his birth.Wow both of us have changed!!!!

Photo three is one of my all time personal favorites. Picture was taken with Todd on the top of Cardinal dugout in the last Busch stadium.

Maybe photo four proves that Todd is a chip off the old block!!!

Photo five was taken at Wrigley Field in 2001.
