This is kind of an odd thing. Babies Alumni? And it was issued in 1943. Still, a fun thing to have.
I'm always sad that I was never able to share these things with Dad when he was alive, but I am very grateful to have them now.
It is sad you couldn't look over these with your father. But, how wonderful to have them now! My dad is still alive, but I was thrilled when I visited my uncle about a year and a half ago and got to see my dad's baby book & some of his early artwork. Partly, it reminds you that your own father was once someone's baby! What treasures!
ReplyDeleteHow neat to have those things though. My dad is still living, but I have never seen any pictures of him as a baby. Any little thing that helps us connect to them is priceless. Glad they found their way to you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad all those goodies were saved. Baby memorabilia are so sweet. I think those prints look more like hands than feet. Was there a time when hospitals printed hands instead?
