This picture is funny on so many levels.

I do not remember actually posing for the photo, but the events surrounding the episode are clear.

It was First Communion 1978. - St Charles Church

This was taken about 2-3 months after my dad died.

My cousin Jason and I celebrated together. This was a major event. I had to attend cathecism with friends but most of them actual went to St Charles grade school and I did not. I remember during practice I was the only person actually reading the words aloud and Mrs Bousman commented to the entire First Communion class.

My brother now looking at the picture looks like a tv evangelist. My dress was a little short, but hey it was a big day.
