Gertude & Peter...Thank You!

The date was September 14,1936 and the location was Boston, Massachusetts. This was the day when Gertude Catherine Frehill Grant and her husband Peter Gerald Grant celebrated the arrival of their newborn son, Eugene. This was also the day that my sister Joann's husband, Gene was born. On this occasion 72 years ago the dad of Stephen, Patty, Beth, & Chris was born. Little did we know (because we weren't even around) that on this day a Grandfather was born. Moreover, who was to know at the time that the man we now refer to as "Mr. Grant" was born?

Now that we know...this is the day that all of us (Simmons Family & Friends) celebrate Eugene Grant's birthday! We thank you for being who you are and we thank you for being a part of who we are! Now...let's blow out the candles, turn up the music, and have some cake and ice cream!

Many more, Gene, many, more.
