I was not created yet. I believe Gerald Pea, otherwise known as "The Creator" was in the hospital witnessing the birth of his first child. So, happy 36th Birthday Sam! 36! He's almost middle aged... Is Sam the oldest male McKendry Cousin? Is Michael older than Sam? I forget ages. Not too many males in the group, I'm glad Gerald Pea got the ball rolling.

Happy birthday Sam! Sam, Michael, Jason, Chris (or is it Criz now that he's in SoCal?) and then Paddy.
Sam's the "Elder", (but Michael's the tallest!) When we saw how "perfect" the first McK boy was, we decided to borrow the "perfect" mold & thus, LITTLE Michael McK-D...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAM! I'm sure your little guys have showered you with hugs, kisses and Dollar Store gifts!!! Enjoy all of it... We wish you a year full of fun!
Love,
Aunt Alyce & Uncle Paul
October 28, 1973...I just arrived in Hartford, Conn for a Six Week Training session @ Aetna. Got there about 4PM. I was Pooped Out...took a Poop and went to bed. About 9PM a Roommate I had never met, he was from down South somewhere, started Screaming..."who left s... skids" in the Bowl!!! I woke up to this idiot and told him if he was offended he should go clean the Bowl and Shut Up!
An Hour later I get a call from Grandpop telling me that Maryann is going to the Hospital. I called a Cab to get to the Airport...the Cab showed up about 11Pm...to be continued...
...got to the Airport about 11:40PM and missed the last Flight to Phila. Next available Flight was @ 9:45AM. There were no cell phones, so you have No Contact...10 Hours later I board the plane to Phila for the 1hr10min Flight. At 2PM (yes, 4 hours after take off) we land @ PHL. They ran out of Puke Bags on the Flight! I get to Abington Hospital about 3PM expecting to find my first Born! No such Luck! To be continued...
...instead of my First Born I find Maryann, still holding out for that "natural birth" thing we trained for, in an almost comatose state! At least now she had someone else to Curse at! I tell the Docs, "I don't care what she says! Give her a SHOT!" They give her a SHOT, Mark Samuel is Born 40 minutes later! I hang around for 5 more days, Maryann gets the Flu and I am headed back to Hartford...God Bless Grandmom & Grandpop Federshyn at that time!
can I have an Amen ?
Happy Birthday Sam. Thanks to Gerald Pea for "all" the details...
A10 hour wait in lieu of a 4 hour car ride? Hmmmm glad you weren't the cavalry!
