some things just make my heart go pitter patter


This is our grandson Harry....
the day before the last day of school.
He had to do a report on World War II.
These kids remember my Dad with much fondness.
They know he served in the Great War.
He was in Italy.
He was in the infantry.
He served with the ski troops in the Tenth Mountain Division.
Dad is kind of a legend in the eyes of his great grandsons.
Harry asked if he could borrow Papa's hat for his project.

The hat is the real thing.
An authentic piece of history.
Harry wore it proudly.


Here is a picture of my Dad wearing the same hat back in the early forties.
He is with my Mom right after they got married.
Be still my pitter pattering heart!

❤️
