Young Juanita Jennings, my grandmother, Born 1895

My grandfather was a snappy dresser and very fussy about his clothes. Maybe becuase he learned to be a shirtmaker in St. Mary's.

Babe wearing his famous raccoon coat. He pulled a puppie for my mom out of one of the pockets. He would laugh when he came home and throw the coat for her to catch and it would bury her!












5:30 am 3 days later at St Gregory's Babe marries Clara Hodgson (2nd wife)
Julia Hodgson, Clara's daughter from previous marriage plus Clara's whole family.

My grandfather's DNA lives on. When asked, and I am often, what it the greatest thing you have of your grandfather? People are surprised at my answer, "I have his blood in my veins, as my mom did before me." With this comes being a blessed and lucky granddaughter. I have people who knew him tell me, I laugh like him, I squinch up my face when I talk, like Babe, and more important is that I interact with his fans just like he did! Fans have told me they felt as if they have been with Babe. I know I can hear my Mom telling me that "You did not hit the ball." She was very correct and she raised me to be humble. She told me to pay attention, as she talked to fans. The name IS magic. Not thinking I would ever have to use it, I did pay a little attention. But what I was to learn was to just be myself. That is the Babe Ruth secret and let the DNA take over. As my grandfahter said " I am here to do good." My mom taught me never to expect in his name but to figure out how give in his name. I try everyday! How do I know to do all this? It's in the DNA!

My sister Ellen and I in (I am guessing) 1983 at Mom & Dad's. it was always the two of us on kitchen cleanup duty after a holiday dinner! We made it fun! You know there were leftovers for Bob in tote!
