Throwback Thursday: 4 Generations of Joes

By
Real Estate Agent with UNITED REAL ESTATE | Central PA RS193539L

What is so special about the number 22?  It indeed is a very significant number in our family.

 

4 Generations of JoesThis is a photo of my father-in-law, husband, son, and grandson taken 22 years ago – Joseph A. Gottwald, I through Joseph A. Gottwald, IV.

 

What is interesting is my husband was born when his father was 22, our son was born when my husband was 22, and the grandson was born when our son was 22.  

 

We are sending this message to our grandson, Joseph, IV – It’s okay not to follow tradition, you need to complete two more years at the Albany School of Pharmacy.

Such a happy photo Bette, I believe that I was 22 when my first son was born too.  Now they are all well past 22 and no grandchildren on the way yet.

Thanks for sharing this happy family memory with us!

Good morning Bette, I agree, School First, then Joe.  Maybe he could be born on the 22nd day of the month.

Bob, It's so much fun sharing these photos.  I look through photos probably more than the average person does, but having others to share them with, and telling the story behind the photo is even more fun!
