Happy birthday to my grandfather William McCurry! Born into a subsistence farming family in Shelby NC. At seventeen he signed on to the war effort. Followed Patton from North Africa to Germany. Raised my Mom and two Aunts before eventually teaching me to fish in Savannah. Love you Papaw!
Bottom picture is of Papaw and my little sister in the very early 80’s. Pretty sure my sister is frowning at something I’m doing just out of shot.
