Brother, Oh Baby!

Today all 4 of my Mom's children 

can be found on the other side of 

Hill #60. 
It is brother Jonathan's birthday. 

The big 6-0!

Nicknames, Jocky, Jock, JC, Jace 

and Steve (its a long story).

Remembering Jock's arrival and brother

Ted (about 13 mos older) busted,

lowering the baby down the sewer
in an attempt to retrieve a lost ball.

Little Jocky's famous party piece. 

Told to "relax". In his highchair, 

fists clenched, face tensed into a 

grimace. Loving the laughter.

So many funny stories, like the time

he grew impatient waiting for Ted

to get home and tried to install an 

air conditioner in a second floor

window by himself. Mom, back 

turned reading, oblivious to the

crash.

Then, "Mom, how badly did you 

want air conditioning?

Now a respected retired Dentist 

in suburban Chicago. Self taught banjo 

player, super gardener, jewelry designer,

cook and husband.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Jock! No matter 
how old. You'll always 

be my baby brother. ;-)

Huge hugs and all my love, C
