The boys were born
On this envelope my mother, Lucille Daffron Allen, noted the dates and times of birth of her three sons. Father was Julius Page Allen
Sidney Page, Oct 14, 1939. 3:30 A.M. Old Druid City Hospital (now U of A hospital). Dr. Rosco Shamblin.
Robert Daffron. August 6 1941. 4:30 P.M. Old Druid City Hospital
William Julius. November 8, 1945, 6:30 P.M. "Dad's 40th birthday".
She does not say so, but I think that I, William Julius, was also born at Old Druid City Hospital, located on the campus of the University of Alabama.
