Yesterday was Fathers Day and this got me to thinking
My Dad was born on the 4th of July 1921 Which is just a couple of weeks away.
He is slowing down and not getting around like he was since he had to have a pacemaker . This worries me so I want to make this birthday special for him.
My Dad has never met a stranger and enjoys people and attention greatly .
So here is my Idea
I want to get him as many Birthday Cards as humanly possible in 2 weeks.

My Dads name is Walt Adams
He was born on the 4th of July 1921 Next July 4th is his 85th Birthday
Left his young wife pregnant with my older brother to serve in WWII
Was injured in France by a mortar shell.
He worked and lived in New Port News Virginia at the shipyards there when
there was no work in our area.
He taught me how to work on cars mostly how to take them apart as He ran his
own junkyard and used car lot for many years.

Please help me make this a special Birthday for my Dad. I would like to give him a
load of Birthday cards from people all over. I don't know what is involved in
mailing from other countries but if you can send a card.

These do not have to be store bought cards Homemade ones are Great. I have
asked a friend to have the children at his Church to make him cards too so If
you want to do that please do.


The address is :
Walt Adams
PO box 22
Lenoir , North Carolina
28645



I will post Pics on Zuwharrie of the cards as they come in and pics of him when I give them to him.
Please help me make this a special Birthday for my Dad
Thanks

My grandpa is 92 this year.. and we got him up to my brothers wedding this past April and man he was so happy to go...of course he can not make mine due to being overseas.. but I understand what a small card can do for someone getting up in age .. :)

It is taken care of I hope . If you get a card back write Address is good on it and send it again .
I apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for the cards I am looking forward to giving them to him next Tuesday.
