Every so often I discover a long lost family photo that just has to be shared. Here they are...as I find them. I scanned these from an album Aunt Irene gave me on a recent trip to Albany.

Kelley & Brice are married

Tom here. We had a beautiful celebration on Saturday, July 11. Kelley and Brice are married and on their way to Cape Cod to stay at Kelley's aunt's condo in Harwich on Cape Cod. Here's a picture of all of us with the happy couple.

A little late for Memorial Day

Hi! Joanne here, wanted to get this on for Memorial Day as well -- oh where does the time go?? Anyway, Jimmy and I went to D.C. to visit Eddie & Tammy back in March, and as always I have to go to the wall and see Lanny. I thought I would leave you the picture of his name on "The Wall". It was packed there that day. D.C. was great and my brother and sister-in-law are doing well. Take care - sorry so late. Joanne

I wanted to extend a special thank you to Colleen's brothers, sisters and cousins. We raised over $2,000 on the TV alone.

Congratulations to Judee Synakowski the winner of the 42" HD TV.

Our grand total for the day was $14,103.

Building a kiddy stool

Tom here.

Here's a fun little show for you.

I've got a question for my cousins. Our grandfather spent his whole life building houses. Many of our dads were talented carpenters. Is anyone in OUR generation doing any woodworking or house building? How about sharing some pictures.

Memorial Day

Tom here. I decided to repeat this post from last year...with no changes.

This weekend is a long weekend, and some might remember that it is Memorial Day, a day for honoring those who gave their lives to keep this country safe and free.

A few years ago I discovered a terrific audio program on the net about our oldest cousin, Lanny, who died in the Viet Nam War in May of 1970. Each year I make it a part of my Memorial Day weekend, to honor the sacrifice Lanny made for our country. The picture at left was taken at Christmas time, about five months before Lanny died.

Check this out. Click here. Listen to The Moving Wall, by Jane Ladouceur (Ron's wife) and Personal Records, by Ron Ladouceur. Thanks, Jane and Ron for doing such a terrific job and sharing.

You can also see Lannie's information on the Virtual Wall by clicking here. You can leave a tribute if you like.

Have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend, and do something special to honor a veteran who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
