My brother Jay and our beloved Barbie

1958 September

Created by Ted Kemp 15 years ago
Barb arrived in Syracuse and much to her surprise, she was met by not only Jay but another man who would be a constant part of their lives for the next three years. Jay and I took her out on the town that night (to the USO)and then we corrupted her by getting her to drink singapore slings (two) that really did a number on a young girl who was a non-drinker. Over the years, we maintained our friendship and love for each other but the miles kept us from spending lots of time together. Just a little reminder for Michael; When Jay and Barb returned from Turkey, I made a trip from Madison, Wisconsin (on a class A pass- 300 mile radius)to Oak Ridge and Michael, when I arrived, you had just been born the day before. So, you might say I have known you all your life. Kev, your Mom and Dad have always told me that I am your Godfather and I just can't imagine how that can be when we have never met. Hope that will not always be the case. Scott, your Dad and I have talked so much about you that your name will be forever in my mind as are all of you. I guess by this, you know that I do indeed love Jay and Barb and Praise the Lord, I will have eternity to get reacquainted. Ted Kemp Cambridge, Idaho 4-07-09
