Dec. 7 - Happy Birthday, Aunt Sis
Hey Folks,
December 7 is the day that “shall live in infamy!” – i.e. Pearl Harbor Day.
But it is also my Aunt Sis’s birthday. She turned 90.
Mrs. Duena Kelhoffer Ames is my Mom’s little sister. Mom’s gone, but those two were something in their day – check out their “flapper” picture (Aunt Sis on the left). Actually they were pretty much naïve country girls growing up. Both entered the “big” world via the Mt. Carmel Nursing School in Columbus, Ohio.
Aunt Sis enlisted as an Army nurse in WW II and she was part of the first non-combat troops to arrive after the liberation of the Dachau Concentration Camp. So whenever I hear anyone say that the Holocaust never happened, I know better; my Aunt saw it with her own eyes.
Aunt Sis taught me to tie my shoes.
I love her.
