My own life and my opinions are shared at When I was 69.

REMEMBER: In North America, the month of September 1752 was exceptionally short, skipping 11 days, when the Gregorian Calendar was adapted from the old Julian one, which didn't have leap year days.

Douglas Martin Heym

Born July 1, 1939, Owasso, Michigan.

Happy eightieth birth anniversary to Doug, my ex-husband, father of my two oldest sons!

So glad to have shared part of our lives together.  And I am thrilled that he's made it to the big eight oh.  He is happily married to Millie now. They have a houseful of cats (I'm told.)

I will try to pull up some photos of him.  I've sure posted a lot over the years, but somehow no one blog post is focused oh him!

Birth of Russell Heym, August, 1967...Doug then Barbara then Marty holding Russ.
Doug and Millie facing the camera, with granddaughter Caroline to their right. Millie is lit by her phone.  The dinner before Barbara Baker and Marty Heym's wedding April 22, 2019..

The Heym family reunion...Doug on left, then Marty then Russ

Doug flew in a bi-plane, perhaps his 70th birthday?

We have actually something in common these days, besides our grown sons and grandchildren!
Doug was glad to take over as editor of my Heym Family Ancestry tree which was for our sons, if they ever wanted to know that side of their family.  And I was glad to give Doug the connection to the Mayflower, which he'd just heard of, but didn't have data for.

Russ, Doug and Marty, Thanksgiving 2017.


Marty and Doug...pretty recently.

A bunch of soccer lovers who met at my apartment in St. Augustine to go to Jacksonville for a soccer match... Left to right, Tai Rogers, Barb Rogers, standing behind her a friend of Tai's from Eckerd College, Marty Heym, Millie Heym, Doug Heym, Michelle Naglieri, Russ Heym. Probably 1997-99.  It was after the World Cup was held in Orlando (1994), thus the US shirts on my 3 sons, but after Tai started college thus his friend coming for the game (in 1997) And it was before Russ and Michelle married in 2001!

And just added, photos that were posted on Facebook, of his party in 2019...just have to include them for this photo journal to be complete!
