the celebration of her 60th birthday. Joyce graciously hosted us at her Easton,

company made for an unforgettable day. Thanks to all for coming. See you

Joe gave out the picture of grand mom Filomena taken by his dad at Aunt Marie’s
house on Memorial Day 1964. He reminded Hank that both both of their Parent’s
were married on Memorial day since almost all the family owned businesses and
would be closed so all could attend(as opposed to the commercial onslaught of
today). Hank remembered being there are Aunt Marie’s and hearing a wedding
party go by honking their horns. He said, “Now I know why my mom turned to Aunt
Rose and said’ who’d get married on Memorial Day?’“
Hank remembered sailing his Sunfish with Joe in bad weather
andthe boat flipping resulting in both of them loosing their glasses to
the bottom of the bay. How did they ever get home in our half-blinded state?
Luckily, Hank’s vision was not as bad as mine Joe's.
Phyllis related to Claudette how her mom and dad did not
want any children when they got married. We know that Harry and Adeline’s love
for each other was great but who at that time wanted to bring a child into the
world coming out The Depression and entering WWII. Uncle Edward could not come
to their wedding since he was drafted and sent off to the army before the
wedding. See the pictures on his web page with Adeline and Filomena taken
before the wedding. Phyllis has the distinction of being one of the first baby
boomers arising from the collective joy, relief, and hope following the end of
WWII and the safe return of Uncle Edward and millions of other men and women,
including my father.
