My parents, Charlie and Gladys Heiser, about 1980

On Mother’s Day in 1980, my mom, Gladys MARTIN HEISER, turned the table on my dad, Charlie, and gave him a Mother’s Day card.

She wrote a touching poem, and created artwork for the front of the card that represented things in our yard like the green metal shed, the apple tree, and my dad’s green lounge chair.
