A Tribute To Our Fathers

 Let's start with papa's side of the tree.  This is Christopher's father's father, Curtis. 

He had many children. 

This is a photograph of his 3 older sons addressed
 "to their grand-daddy Arthur Steward", Detroit 1948?

The boy in the center is baby Terry. 

Terry grew up and became an amazing actor,

a world famous zombie slayer,

and also a father to his son, baby Christopher.

NYC, 1974

Baby Christopher grew into a darling little boy.

California, 1977

The little boy grew and became a kid.

NYC, 1978

The kid grew up and became a dashing young man, with kung-fu skills.

NYC, 1990?

The young man matured into a handsome detective,

became a screen playwright (soon to be world famous),

and then a father to twin daughters.

The twinkies have a bonus paternal grandfather, Grand Den.

Now, mama's side of the tree.  

Here's me at 3 days old in 'my first picture with daddy' Arturo Baquilar.

 Here's a pic of my dad and 2 (of 3) baby daughters.
Mom + Dad had another baby daughter - Xenia Fay - seven years later.

Our father never got to meet any of his grandchildren.  May he Rest In Peace.

This is little me clinging to my Lolo - my mom's father, Baldomero Gueron.

Celebrating each of our fathers,

grandfathers, great-grandfathers, and all our fathers before them.
