Immigrant Ancestors Part 2: Edward J. Fenlon, Sr.

Portrait of Mark as a young artist?

Another story from my dad Mark.

When I was 5 or 6 years old for some reason I decided that I would like to draw a farm scene on my bedroom wallpaper. I thought that I probably should check with Mom before I did this.  So I went to Mom and told her my plan.  I was pleasantly impressed when she said, "That is fine. Call me to see it when you are done."  I was really surprised by her answer. I also quickly realized my art talent was very lacking.
