Jaundiced Merboy off the Port Bow

Granted, this is not a personal memory, however, this is how I was told:

I am amongst the "special" children, the odds beating "birth-control" babies. My mother was a simple girl from the Lake with plans to attend nursing school. My father was a helicopter gunner for the Army, serving in Vietnam.

I was born in the 5th US Army General Hospital in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt, West Germany on April 3, 1971 at 4:44am. I have been informed that my delivery was conducted under water, so I came out swimming. (Can you imagine, pool delivery!)

Unfortunately, RH Factor reared its ugly head, causing me to be severely anemic and jaundiced. This led to an immediate need for an A+ blood transfusion. Yeee haaa, party for me.
