About my life

I was born 68 years ago in Pensacola, Fl in the old Sacred Heart Hospital on 12th Ave. It was called Pensacola Hospital then. It's still there . Sometimes I go past there and remember being there to have my toncils taken out at 5 years of age. I was the first born to my mother and father. They were living on the west side of town in the 1700 block of Intendencia St. at the time of my birth. My Family was very poor but my mother knew how to stretch a dollar. She would cry all the time about not ever having enough money for extras. We never went hungry and she would go into debt for Christmas and then pay the debt off the following March.She did manage to have us new clothes for school. My Mother told me that when I was starting the first grade at school, she would line up my clothes on the bed and admire them and think about how pretty they were even if she had them made from flour sacks. My brother was born 15 months after me and both of us were in grammer school when she had my sister and then 21/2 years later she had twins, a boy and girl . They are in their 50's now.
