We Miss You Joe

When you were a very young boy, you rode your tricycle through Riverdale all the way to the entrance, and then to the right along the busy road. A very kind woman took you into her home and fed you a bottle of milk.

As a youngster, Joe would run from the front and back of our large back yard.

Joe loved our family vacations. His best vacation was in Miami where we had a large family room with comfortable beds. Kit, Joe, Charlie, Nora and Elsie would swim in the the Ocean or Hotel Pool. We had 2 weeks of great times .

Many nights when Joe was a teen-ager, I drove him and Kit to Jerry's Dance School.

Joe grew up and became a famous ballet dancer in Washington DC, then to NYC, and Bavaria in Germany. He was the lead ballet dancer when Kitty and I went to see him in Jackson, Mississippi.

Kit would take her nephews and nieces to visit Joe in New York.

After Joe's tour of Europe, he returned to New York where he died.

In closing, Joe had a happy life, as he lived it to the fullest.

The very best to you Joe.

From Your Old Dad (who is now 90)
