June 27th is the birthday of Christian Martin Whalen: son of John and Helen; brother of Teresa, Damian, Lisa and Mercy; husband of Aida; father of Nicholas, Morgan, Sean and Connor; grandfather of Isaac and Isabela; cousin, nephew and friend to many more.
Christian's professional resume as written on the Fine Homebuilding website, is impressive: "Chris Whalen has worked in Missoula since 1974 as a carpenter, project manager and contractor. His finish carpentry has been featured in the local Parade of Homes since it’s beginning in 1990. He was the project manager for over 25 of the areas finest homes, including several award winning entries in the Parade of Homes. While working for old time builders as well as younger contractors, Chris honed his carpentry and woodworking skills and learned much about construction management. He is also a contributing writer for Fine Homebuilding magazine."
He's one of the older kids who carries the memories of simpler times at 704 W. 50th Street--Boom and Boompa's house on the south side of Chicago. He values family and heritage and has hung on to and shared some terrific photos from his childhood.
Happy Birthday, Christian, and may you have 53 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
