Happy Birthday

Just a short 75 years ago Paul A. Gillespie found his way into Erie Pennsylvania. Soon after his arrival to James and Henrietta, he found that there were so many interesting gadgets and gizmos to explore. Quickly everything was moved higher and higher, but this did not deter little Paul, he was very creative and driven, if you find a cord and pull on it whatever was attached would come to you, telephones were heavy back then.
1936 Paul is the little one in Grandma's arms.

Fast forward 21 years Paul had met a pretty lady, Carol Taylor, They were married April 6 1957.
Paul and Carol 1959.
I am guessing that this is the house on Wilbur street.


OK Brenda, mom brings you Flowers.
I am not much of a flower kind of person,
so it looks like I get Strawberries, not enough for a pie, at least not yet.
Miss you Dad.
