This photo of my family in 1955 shows the merging of two families. My Dad died when I was 5, and my mom met my stepdad soon after when the nuns put my step-brother and I together when I arrived late to first grade in Jacksonville in 1953. My stepdad had lost his wife a couple of years earlier, and he had 3 kids. We ended up a family of six kids. It should be obvious which one I am. I still can't believe they paid parochial school tuition for all of us through high school.
