Throwback Thursday

This is 110 Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY. (Thank you so much, Google Maps.) Up there on the 2nd floor in a 2ish room apartment in the back is where we lived when I was born.  On March 29, 1949 at 10:37 PM at Prospect Heights Hospital.  My birth certificate lists my father's occupation but doesn't even have a place to list my mother's. I was their first child and spent the next 18 glorious months as an only child. But, alas, that didn't last. Just before my sister was born in August of 1950, we moved to River Edge, NJ.

(My birth certificate does not mention much about me. Only my name and sex.  No weight/length. It does say that my White father was 25 and my White mother was 26.)

Fixed an obvious typo so now the comments will make no sense. Ha!

Wow! Most impressive.

It's cool to go back and look at your roots from time to time.

I am most surprised to find out that the fountain of youth is in the Pacific Northwest.
Not at all where I expected it...

Nope but that's generally the best place to hide wonderful things

I don't think my birth certificate lists anything about my weight/length. The interesting thing to note about my birth certificate is that my Father lied about his age, birth-place, and mother's maiden name.
