My dad, the big "moose" was born on St.Patrick's day, 1934. He weighed 3 pounds. It was always a favorite story of the Meyer's to tell how he was born at home and the midwife didn't think he would make it. They swaddled him up and put him in a shoebox and kept him by the oven door for warmth. Well, that 3 pound baby boy came home from the service at 6' 4" weighing over 220 pounds!!
Through the years I remember people talking about what "nationality" they were, and Meyer was of course - so they said, German. If you would ask my dad he would say he was Irish. Any body born on March 17th must be Irish!
This year when we went to pick up gramma Dorius from the Harren's it was on March 17th. Emily had all the kids dressed in green for the day.
Looks like Grandpa Moose's Irish genes have been passed on!
