Today is my dad Wilbur Weaver's 104th Birthday. He was like many of his generation, Hard Working, Believed in American Values, Supporting His Family and Helping his community. He was a WW2 Veteran and received 2 Field Promotions while serving at Iwo Jima. After the war he and my mom moved from PA to Washington, DC where he got a job with the Federal Trade Commission, starting as a Clerk/Typist and working is way up to News Director when he retired in 1978. He loved Sports and was a great basketball player. He also coached baseball and basketball for The Lewisdale Boys Club in Hyattsville, Maryland for many years. He would always take a "B Team" and turn it into a winner. Here is a picture of Dad at his Desk at the FTC, from when he was an Information Specialist.
