Memories of Dad

Cousin Vanessa took this photo of Mom and Dad at the farm in Kentucky, I'd guess some time around 2005.

1. Dad's Book of Memories

The following links Dad's memory book, titled "Memories of Howard P. King Jr." that he composed. The autobiography only goes up through grade school, while the photos extend through his service in World War II. You might want to listen to the audio below about his experience of the war.

I've entered the text and scanned the photos to create the following web pages. There may be a few transciption errors on my part, but the only text I've changed is specific to the location of the photo, which has changed with the translation into these web pages.

2. Photo Montage of Dad
composed for memorial reception

The links at the bottom of this section go to PDFs of the posters (60"W x 30"H) of photographs that I composed for the reception following the graveside service.

I have converted the posters to web pages which are lower resolution, but works fine for display on a computer monitor. There was some minor rearrangement, and some photos that I couldn't fit on the posters are included.

If you want to see the original posters click on the links below. The files are rather large because of all the photos, and they will take a while to load in your browser.

Alternatively, you could right-click and download the file to your computer and open it with a PDF reader (e.g. Adobe Reader).

3. Audio Recordings of Dad
interviewed by Reece and Waverly Evans

The following links go to audio (mp3) of an interview of Dad and Mom by Reece Evans for a high school project on World War II. Reece's dad, Waverly, gets to ask a couple questions too. The audio was provided to me by Wave on a CD.
