Birthday star in July family memories and history
A Murphysboro Middle School student born on July Fourth turns 13 in a festive but hectic holiday birthday. Ashley Singleton looks forward to seventh grade, cheerleading, science and language arts, and hopes for a new horse. Her mother notes the challenge of gathering friends on a holiday. Other July Fourth birthdays share stories of parties, time off work, and family traditions, including Ashley’s plans for boating on Kinkaid Lake and memories from Gerald Bailey, born July 4, 1918, a lifelong Boy Scout leader now active in the Greater St. Louis Area Council. Bailey recalls big family Fourth of July celebrations and a lifetime of service.
