Sharon

As I've done posts about Bill, Wayne and myself, now it's Sharon's turn. Nana knows exactly why she chose Sharon's name.  In fact, she wrote a story about it a few years ago.

Precious Memories

1943 – 1946

While living in Austin, Texas, my landlady found work for me.  It was 1943, World War II in full swing.  A Captain and his wife needed a baby sitter.  It was on a Saturday night and I went there, down Congress Avenue a long way and then to a side street where they lived.   The little girl was so sweet and her name was Sharon Kay.  It was a long evening and she was so nice for me.  Her parents got home late and no more buses were running so the Captain had to drive me to Nueces Street. 

Later in 1946 I had a sweet little baby girl and I named her Sharon Kay.

I can't find any pictures of Sharon as a baby.  These are the earliest pictures I have.
