MY BROTHER BUMP!

I have some great brothers but this is the one I grew up with! This is Paul, he is the youngest in our family of eleven kids. I call him Bump, a nickname he has been stuck with all his life. I was always told it came from when he was small and bumped his head alot. If you have a different story Bump , then share it with me. ha. Bump has a good sense of humor so don't think it ever bothered him or if it did I never knew it! Anyway he was the greatest! He and I were close growing up. We went everywhere together! To sock hops , movies, skating , rainbow beach, you name it. He has always been a special brother to me and not too many brothers would allow a sister to hang around them all the time but he didn't seem to mind it at all or if he did he never told me. ha. Tks. Bump! Growing up I felt we were a anchor for each other. In a home that was often an unhappy place to be we spent many hours at our neighbor's Don & Jean Clark who lived across the street. That place was our second home! Many happy hours were spent there and many nights we set up with Jean watching 'The Jack Parr show." Those were fond memories and often Don would fuss wanting her to call it a night and guess send us home but she always wanted to watch Jack Parr so we got to stay longer, which we thought was great! Bump and I never really wanted to go home, we enjoyed being at Jean's house more than being at our own home. Jean's husband Don was a good man but Jean wore the pants in the home as they say. She fed us many a evening meal and kept soda's in her house for us, even doctoring a sore or repairing a piece of clothing for us when needed. They were certainly the perfect neighbors for us the Todd kids! Jean passed away this year and I know she will be greatly missed by all those who loved her and I hope one day to see her again and thank her again for all she did for Bump and I. What a lady! a truly good neighbor that went the extra mile and welcomed us into her home as if we were her own!
Well, as you can see from this picture of Bump he is a handsome guy. Used to be called KOOKIE a name given to a teenage heartthrob movie star of our era. You can see why? Bump you still have your good looks! ha! Thanks for being the best brother a sister could have and I will always have very fond memories of spending many days of our youth together. love you always, your sister Dottie
