My daddy, Norb Shaffer, was born! He was the 2nd youngest of the 12 living children of Earl Roy Shaffer and Ethel Amelia Siler. He grew up in Piqua, OH, joined the military and spent some time overseas, came back and married Frances Marie Went (aka "Toots"). After her death in 1960, he married my mom, Joanne Sommer Martz. They moved to AZ in the 1960s. He passed away in 2001 and we miss him very much.
I don't have any photos of his birth, but here are a couple I have scanned.
