Closet Treasures
This is my Father's birthday card and one
of my personal favorites. He was a star on the 6-man football team at
the time. He was also awarded an "All American" medal in
football then. He was so proud of it that he wore it out plowing the
fields on the farm outside of Michigan, North Dakota, and promptly lost
it. This scene also contains some of his track and field medals along
with his high school letter and yearbook. The dog tags and Bronze Star
are from his Army service in WWII. The weird metal thing in the lower
left baffles a lot of people; it’s a needle for blowing up footballs.
