Remembering Grandpa's Birthday

Category: Sharing Memories

My Grandpa Hibbitt was born on this day, 1st December, in 1898. Gosh, it's hard to equate that I knew someone who was born in the 19th century! His father was a coastguard serving at Soldier's Point near Dundalk, Co. Louth, Ireland (there was no North or South in those days) and so this is where Grandpa came into the world.

Cars were just one of his hobbies and here he is proudly standing beside one of the ones he owned, most likely taken during the 1960's.
