ONCE UPON A TIME IN 1942 A LITTLE BABY BOY WAS BORN. . . . .

to Gene and Owen Hogue in North Little Rock, AR.


Would you believe that Larry and Linda Fincher are both in this picture!

Two years later in 1944, a daughter was born to Boyd and Glenna Faye McDaniel in Malvern, AR. Here I am--Elizabeth Dianne--this is the only baby picture I have. My father was in faraway India when I was born as you can see from the letter below.



the second paragraph says, "I'm so excited tonite. I finally got a letter telling about the birth of Elizabeth Dianne." I was born on September 10 and this letter is dated September 30. Hard to believe how communication was back then. Note the reference to Pearl Harbor on the bottom line.

I am including one of the top hit songs from 1942-A String of Pearls by Glenn Miller and one from 1944, I'll Be Seeing You by Jo Stafford. She was one of my father's very favorite singers.

This story will be continued. . . . .and you'll see why . . . .
