TERRY - i love this. Where were we? I don't remember. Nice memory
to see that and Chubby's picture. Thanks.
DANNY - I too always thought Connie was hot. Remember how tight
her uniforms were? Sizzle sizzle......... She was just so feminine... loved it!

Yes, unfortunately Sally Savarese passed away, within a few months of his
mother passing. Sad for family. It was about two years ago. He was very,
very sick - so he is at peace now.
DEBBIE - What a gift to have Nick home. God is Awesome and has blessed your family for sure. Happy for you all.....
My cousin sent me a 'family' picture last night. It was special to see my
mom with her brothers and sisters. I'm going to see if I can get it on here.
Maybe someone besides Terry will recognize my mom and Aunt Mary,
always walking on the avenue.

OF THE PHOTO.

luv it franny - so nice to see them all, especially ur mom. xx
(The Schiavo's from 20th Street)
Uncle Al, Aunt Mary (Battaglia), Aunt Anna (Gerardi),
Uncle Joe, and my Mom.
This was one of the last pictures of my mom, she passed four months
later. I never saw this picture before last night, so I am happy to have
it now. Of course it's today's screen saver.
Mom and Aunt Mary were inseparable and they walked the avenue
with their pull carts or whatever those things were called. They
were my TWO MOMS xxxx Ok, I need a tear-break now....
May 1976
PAUL,
Uncle Al and Uncle Joe had pigeons that they flew from the top of
grandma's house @ 219 20th St. Probably mentioned that long time
ago when we discussed this.
CIAO my friends,,,, hoping the picture shows up... and
apologizing in advance if it is too big...

Another quick type by....
Joke of the Evening.....
Olef and Sven were fishing on the Michigan opener when Sven pulled out a cigar. Finding he had no matches, he asked Ole for a light.
'Ya, shure, I tink I haff a lighter,' he replied, and then reaching into his tackle box, he pulled out a Bic lighter 10 inches long.
'Yiminy Cricket!' exclaimed Sven, taking the huge Bic Lighter in his hands. 'Vere dit yew git dat monster??'
'Vell,' replied Olef, 'I got it from my Genie.'
'You haff a Genie?' Sven asked.
'Ya, shure. It's right here in my tackle box,' says Olef.
'Could I see him?'
Olef opens his tackle box & sure enough, out pops the Genie.
Addressing the genie, Sven says, 'Hey dere! I'm a good friend of your master.? Vill you grant me vun vish?'
'Yes, I will,' says the Genie..
So Sven asks the Genie for a million bucks.
The Genie disappears back into the tackle box leaving Sven sitting there waiting for his million bucks.
Shortly, the sky darkens and is filled with the sound of a million ducks....flying directly overhead.
Over the roar of the million ducks Sven yells at Olef,? 'Yumpin' Yimminy, I asked for a million bucks, not a million ducks!'
Ole answers, 'Ya, I forgot to tell yew dat da Genie is hart of hearing.
Do yew really tink I asked for a 10-inch Bic?" -
Leaving tomorrow for NY... See you all when I get there (I hope)... XOX Night All...

TERRY THE DOCTORS ARE TREATING YOUR SON FOR LYME DISEASE ??
THAT STARTED IN LYME CT. BACK IN THE 80S FROM A TICK BITE. -
Hi all, can't believe the time already, Terry, hope the doctors help your son, my best friend had Lyme disease, she was treated by a doctor in POUGH that specializes in Lyme, she's much better now.
I LOVE all the pics you guys are posting, Terry, very pretty pic of you with your uncle. Franny, what a very special pic of your mom with her family, nice memories! Festina, your photos are beautiful, the colors are amazing!!! Have you thought about creating your own website? You would do good in website design.
I found the 1910 census online so if you knew your ancesters were here in 1910, let me know if you want a look up. I'm not having any luck finding mine, sometimes the last names are spelled wrong.
Geri, have a great trip, stay safe driving.
Debbie, are you still in shock over your bro coming home???
Jeanette, rest up tonight, you're been working hard taping today.
Patsy, enjoy your evening, I need to see what's on TV tonight!!!! -
