Show Greetings to Our Daddies Away In Service Of Our Country f - h "' " Hy 11 M i SHIRLEY RAE MINER "I'm just as much of a doll as I look in my picture, with lots of black hair and beautiful dark eyes. I was born November 25, 1943, giving my mother and daddy really something to be thankful for on that Thanksgiving Day. And the best part of all, my daddy, Cpl. Harold P. Miner, arrived in Springville from way down at Camp Davis, N. C, just a few hours after I was born. "My daddy had to go right back to camp so the last time he saw me, I was only seven days old, hardly big enough to tell what I would look like. He will no doubt be surprised when he gets home to see his daughter walking, walk-ing, at least I'm trying to learn before he gets his furlough fur-lough in September or October.' He is now serving with the Anti-Aircraft Corps at Camp Stewart, Georgia. "I make my home with my mother, Mrs. Edith Teas-dale Teas-dale Miner, and grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Albert Giles, at 360 West, First North street, waiting for the day when my daddy will come home to stay. "I am luckier than some children because I have four grandparents, the other two being Mr. and Mrs. Paul C. Miner, and I am the fifth grandchild on both sides." ROGER WAN ANDERSON "Hello Folks! See my big smile. That's because I'm so proud of my daddy, who is Military Policeman Ivan T. Anderson, now stationed in England. "Before leaving for overseas duty in January, my daddy was stationed in Michigan and later in Texas,, where my mother and I visited him. But I was only two months old when he saw me last. I was such a baby then I couldn't even hold a rattle. I'm a man now. I'll be one year old the 25th of this month. "Every day (with the help of my mother) I write my daddy a V-mail letter, and I keep telling him to hurry back home. But he says it might be a while yet before this mess is cleared up, and that I am to be the man of the house and take care of my mother 'till he gets back. So when, she gets worried, I grin and show my teeth and that always makes her smile. "Until my daddy gets home my mother, Mrs. Jettie Jacob Anderson and I, live at 710 East Center street, real close to my grandmother, Mrs. Hazel Jacob." |
