Meg, Ren, Sissy, John-Heath, and my momma....many things happened. We were in the middle of the worst year of the Great Depression, the top soil of drought-ridden lands in the Midwest was stripped by strong winds causing dust bowls, FDR became the U.S. president, five-year-old Shirley Temple signed a contract with Fox, the original King Kong was shown to movie-goers, and the Loch Ness Monster was sighted for the first time in modern times.
But the greatest event for me personally that year was the birth of a baby girl named Betty Jean. 'Cause if she hadn't come along, you wouldn't be reading this right now.
Happy Birthday, Momma. I love ya!
