Suddenly it's 1975 again !

Paul here ... here are a few of gems from November 1975. The writing on the back says it was taken at the Cusick's 25th anniversary at the Yacht Club. That's 33 years ago.

I remember Yvonne, Marie and Yvette singing like the Andrews Sisters. You can always see those three aunts together in a group picture.

I calculated the ages of all the living aunts and uncles at the time of this photo and here they are:

Grandma would have been 67.

Rita 57, Al 56, Ed 55, Yvette 54, Marie 53, Yvonne 52, Gerard 50, Roger 44 (not pictured), Irene 43,Wilfred 41 (not pictured), Annette 40, Ernie 39, Franklinette 37, Bernie 36, Ronnie 35.

Merry Christmas from N.C.

Hi everyone. Josee here. We have an announcement. We found out a few weeks ago that our new baby, due in January, is a baby girl!

Here is an ultrasound photo. Her name is Fiona Grace Meehan.Merry Christmas to all!

Merry Christmas from Donna

Hi everyone,

I'm writing to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I have decided to cut back on the number of Christmas cards I'm sending this year and instead leave a message here. I'm hoping that most of the family are checking this sight and that my Christmas wishes will reach those I used to send cards to and many more that I have missed over the years.

Danielle(from Buffalo) and Rachel(from RI) will be traveling home for Christmas and we are looking forward to having them here. Mom always spends the night Christmas Eve after a very large LaMarre gathering and Aunt Marie stops in Christmas morning. We miss Christmas day at Grandma's and seeing so many of you, but you are in our thoughts.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Love, Billy & Donna
