MEMORIES:
Today, January 29, 2025, is the 29th anniversary of my father's death. Looking back it certainly doesn't seem like it has been that long but time does move quickly.
Mylen Elmer Schulte was born March 29, 1923 in Detroit, Michigan to Elmer Meyer Schulte and Ella Anna Helene Wellhausen. He was their second child and second son.
Mylen Schulte in 1923:
He was baptized on April 15, 1923 at First English Lutheran Church in Detroit and confirmed on April 5, 1936, also at First English Lutheran Church, by Rev. Walter O. Hauck.
Here are random photos from over the years:

Though it has been 29 years now since he passed away, I have many memories of my 47 years with my father that will never leave me.

I got a kick out of all the expressions in the confirmation class photo! Ha!
You are correct; obviously it wasn't their happiest hour.
