Happy 18th Birthday Dad

72 years ago today William McNeil Crawford was born in the Philipines. As legend goes he was born on the dining room table. He's lived a long & crazy life.

During WWII His family was captured by the Japanese & were POWs for 4 years in Santo Thomas. Dad's the middle boy on the right:

The family returned to the US after liberation & my dad grew up to be a pretty good looking guy:

At Cal he met & fell in love with my mom. They seem to love each other still:

He has a huge soft spot in his heart for beasts:

and he's the most loved grandfather to this bunch...


He's living quite a life.
