Dear Hearts,
July 4th is the birthday of Michael Minor White, son of Signe, adopted son of Whitey, and son of Air Force 1LT Mike Minor, USMA, Class of 1970, a fighter pilot who was killed in action in Vietnam.
His father was Whitey and Jim's classmate. Whitey was in combat with the 101st Airborne on Mike's last day and brought him back home, helped Signe with his burial, and after time and tears, mourning and grieving, Signe and Whitey wed, and their classmate's son found a Dad his biological father knew and loved. Little Mike was born after his father's death and Whitey is the only father he has ever known.
Mike is a sort-of-a-genius software engineer today and happily married, thriving in Florida. Happy Birthday, Mike, and may you have 75 more healthy ones by the Aunt Joannie Sullivan Law of Longevity Aspiration of 2008.
God bless us and save us and keep us from harm.
Love, Patty
