The Red Skelton show was my father’s favorite show that he would never miss.

Other than that he wasn’t much for TV.

His generation, the Greatest Generation needed laughs, as they had been dealt a hand with not much to laugh about.

First the Great Depression, then the War in which my father did his duty for six years mostly overseas.

If he were with us, he’d be 107 the day after Christmas.

That’s for sure. My Father would have been 97 back in September. He never talked about WW-II except that He was a Flight Engineer on C-47/C-54’s. I did feel nd a few papers after He Passed Away but not much info.

Thank You to All of Them and God Bless Their Souls.
