Bonnie Louise Sisson; I don’t remember any thing about her.

Floyd Stanley Sisson; My Dad. He went by the name of Jack. I can recall several instances with him. I remember a real small cap pistol he gave me. I think it was lost in the last move. I recall several instances in Atlanta. I remember the last trip down to Atlanta he met the train in Chattanooga and rode the rest of the way with us.

Vrginia asked me to try and put reply tor email to me about family tree. This is my paternal Grandparents. Of course I don’t remember my Grandfather because he died 5 years before i was born. However I can vaguely recall my mother coaxing me into the room where my Grandmother lay on her death bed. I can still visualize her laying there.

sisson grandparentsAs best I can tell the list of their children is acurate.

John Horace Sisson 26 Apr. 1892- 10 Nov. 1971 ; I went to visit Uncle Horace in the summer of 1956. We had a good visit. I stayed close to a week with them. During that time Uncle Horace rode wiith me to the Hapeville post office. Uncle Fritz was the post master. He is listed last here as Carlos Mason Sisson.

Oh Happy Birthday to Me

Posted on Thursday 29 November 2007

It has been a practice over the past ten or so years for Pauline (Aunt) to call me on my birthday and ask if it’s all right. If I answer in the affirmative, and I always have, she will say she will say she will go ahead and have hers the following month. We are the same age. Now two weeks after the fact I’m about to change my mind about this one.

First some good news; We had a good time Thanksgiving day. although John had to work Crystal came over and Bill and Rose Dumansky were here.

Then Linda and I had a wonderful day for our Aniversary on the 26t.

On Wednesday the 28th. John had a day off so he and Crystal came over. Aunt Pauline joined us for a second Thanksgiving dinner. I personally have had enough turkey. Much fun was had by all.

About three weeks ago I went in for a stress test, which is normal for an old codger like me so I didn’t think anything about that. However the results showed that a part of the front  of my heart and a part of the back of my heart wasn’t functioning properly. I went to see a cardiologist Tues. 27th. He has me scheduled for an angioplasty Dec.14th. My Dr. has me scheduled for multiple tests in her office th 7th. one of those is the simple ultrasound on my neck to check severity of the blockage. If it’s bad enough that the angiogram won’t be safe, they will do an operation on my neck to clear it so sudden blood flow after angiogram wont blow plaque into my brain.

On wednesday night I called the kids the bros. and sisters in law. This certainly is no small thing, but the survival rate is very high with the many that is performed each month.

Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
