My dad was really big into CB radios.  This was my birth announcement.  Pretty neat!

As promised, I pulled out my Girl Scouts vest.  I also have several loose badges, which never quite made it to the vest.  Some day I will find the time to sew them on to complete the vest.

Randy’s challenge for this evening is as follows: List your 16 great-grandparents in pedigree chart order. List their birth and death years and places. Figure out the dominant ethnicity or nationality of each of them. Calculate your ancestral ethnicity or nationality by adding them up for the 16 – 6.25% for each (obviously, this is approximate). If you don’t know all 16 of your great-grandparents, then do it for the last full generation you have. Write your own blog post, or make a comment on Facebook or in this post.

This is my Girl Scouts membership card for 1986.  I was in Girl Scouts from first through fifth grade.  One of these days I’ll pull out my vest and take a picture and post it. I know some of my friends read this blog, so if there are any out there that were in Girl Scouts with me, leave a comment of your favorite memory.  I have some fantastic memories of White Pines 😉

My dad was big into slot car racing.  This article (likely published in the Elmhurst Press) was written after his win in the Ford Chicago Model Racing Car Championship held in Elmhurst in 1966.  I wonder if I still have that trophy he’s holding….
