PAST AND PRESENT
To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world!
A view of the Big Four Railroad bridge that borders the southern edge of my hometown. The Great Miami River flows through. During my childhood I spent many hours staring at this great Giant.
My parents with 5 of my girls. It was taken Christmas
of 1980. We were visiting my parents in Ohio. Both of my parents are deceased and I treasure this rare picture.
1/81 Dad(Gary) looks on as daughter Tina gets prepared for her wedding. Our first daughter to be wed. Gary still had his health at this point.
7/85 Dad(Gary) walking 2nd daughter, Ganese down the aisle. It took three months of therapy for him to perform this honor. He hadn't walked since April. He was determined and he succeeded.
6/92 This is 3rd daughter, Gina's wedding. Here we have Mom, Gina, Loren, and Dad (Gary). This was the last function Gary was in attendance at for the children. The ALS had totally taken over.
10/98 Here we have the 2 newest guys in my life. Brian is holding my grandson, Zachary. They get along well together. They enjoy each others company very much.
12/98 This is Ginger, Brian and myself. Since Brian has come into our lives, Ginger has regained some of the spunk and liveliness that she lost when Gary died. She adores Brian and they are best buds for sure.
7/98 Me and 3 of my siblings enjoying a chat at daughter Marie's wedding. (L-R) Tim, me, Dora and John.
Here stands my brother Harold, wife Mary and son
Shane.
12/98 This is my youngest brother Tom, with his Grandson,
Aidan on his 1st birthday.
01/02/2000 This is my nephew Mike, with his favorite squeeze, Tasha. Mike is the son of my brother Tom. (That fella up above, playing with Aidan.)
9/98 I found a picture of my sister, Dora, hubby Tom and their youngest, Debbie
with husband and 2 sons.
4/99 Here are brothers Tim, (me), Harold, and Tom. This was taken at Harold's
big "50" Birthday Bash.
Graduation Day, June 13, 1999. Ahh, the end of the High School Graduations
for my children. Genna and Mom trying to compose ourselves after the Great Event.
On with College!
2/99 This photo features (froml-r)Genna, Mom, Ginger, Gina Louise, and Ganese. Sometimes the busy schedules of my children do not allow us to be together during any Holidays, so we took this weekend together as a special one.
9/99 Ginger and Mom take a break while waiting for Brian to take pictures in
the Garden on Center Island, across the harbor from Toronto. We enjoyed our
adventure on the Island and Ginger sort of liked the Ferry boat ride. Once we reached land, she loved it.
