McBride - Bumpus Genealogy


        Just a picture in a box
           Is that all I will be ?
When generations from this day
    My descendants stare at me.

In  Loving  Memory  of  " Dr.  Ralph  Book  McBride  "  (  Uncle  Mickey  )


                              ( who  is  with  his  Lord  Jesus  in  Heaven )

             Uncle  Mickey  at  the  remains  of  the


" Clan  Armstrong  "  Mangerton  Castle  in  Scotland

           Just a picture in a box
          A face but nothing more
Wondering, " Who's that old goat ? "
    " Was he nice or just a bore ? "

      Just a picture in a box
    For some that may be true
But if you do your homework
  It won't be the case for you.

        To  My  Descendants


​             *  From  Uncle  Mickey  *

* (Adapted from a poem by Linda Pyle) *

    Just a picture in a box
Don't let that come to pass
   Identify your snapshots
Provide memories that last.
