On a later page is the information about my Christening Day, October 30, 1949. I was named for my dad's initials (the Earl middle name came from my mom's favorite teacher in White Cloud, Earl Rose). The God Parents were Lt. M.J. Patton (Proxy was Sgt. Merrill Grantham); Mrs. Lucette Tschirhart (Proxy - Miss Elizabeth - Betty - Chaires). It was held at the MacDill A.F. Base Catholic Church and conducted by Father Hurley.
In the album are pictures of me at one month, two months, six months, and seven months. Mom also kept track of how much I weighed until one year old: I was 25 3/4 lbs. By then, my sister had been born and mom had two infants to raise.
