I created this highlight video of my paternal grandfather’s 60th birthday party using Apple iMovie ’11. The event took place on 12/30/1988 in Petronila, Texas. I hope you enjoy it. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. If you’d like to subscribe to my YouTube channel, click here.

In honor of Father’s Day, I wanted to post pictures of my father, grandfathers, great grandfathers, and 2nd great grandfathers. The only picture I do not have in my collection is that of my maternal 2nd great grandfather, Edward L Barlow (1867-1955).
This Remington .22 Caliber Model 511 Scoremaster Rifle was originally owned by my grandfather, James Nead Davis. He later gave it to my father, James Michael Davis, when he was a boy. This rifle was produced in 6/1939, the model’s first month of production. According to Remington’s website, there were approximately 381,267 of these rifles made. The rifle was discontinued in 1963.

My paternal grandfather, James Nead Davis, served with the United States Marine Corps from 6/6/1946 – 4/29/1947. His date of entry into the service occurred one day after the declaration of German defeat was signed by the four allies on 6/5/1946.
“Papa” graduated from Robstown High School in Robstown, Texas 5/1946 and worked as a service station attendant before his enlistment. His U.S. Marine Corps Report of Separation (see above) listed Math as his course of greatest interest. What I find interesting is that his name and signature are “James Neal Davis” on the report.
James Nead Davis Graduation Portrait
Currently, I don’t have any pictures of James in uniform. His high school graduation portrait (see above) was taken shortly before his enlistment in the Marines.
