My dad's given name was Reuben James, but everyone called him Chick. He was born April 4, 1920 in New York City, the first in his family to be born in the USA. They immigrated from Spain, some via Cuba. Family was everything to him. My mom, of Irish and German descent, kept us all in line. We knew we were his top priority.
This is a picture my brother Mark sent, copied from an old slide taken many moons ago. That's my brother Bob, my Dad and me. As I recall, I wanted to be a singing cowgirl, stage name Peggy Lee. Must have had a fever!
Thanks for all the love Dad. We still carry it with us as we carry you in our hearts.
xoxo
