Bob
McCarty had two comments every Thanksgiving Meal.....Well,

FROM THE PAST:
I made these costumes for my first daughter & son.
Rae
turned 52 on October 6, and Dan will be 50 in
November. My "Dandy Lion" was named after my first grade boyfriend: Daniel McCarty. We both attended Francis Parkman Elementary school on Coyle, across from my house when I was a McConnell. |
