  1. Amazing! Great pics...so much snow...it just reminded me that we used to make real igloos in our front yard. Global warming sucks, doesnt it?

  2. Tom: Thank you for these pics! All that snow. How absolutely lovely. What strikes me now is how bare all our front yards were back then. I know your family planted its Christmas tree (speaking of) every year, and we had some fir trees (from Mrs. Bardello) and the Rubys put a maple (I think) on their lawn. But obviously the lots had been clear cut for ease of construction. My memory, though is of green, green, green in the summers.

    What a great picture of Peter! He looks so thin, though.Thanks for the memories.

    Oh, yes, Walter--our grandfather (my mother's father) worked for United Fruit in New york and Cuba and was caught smuggling rum in from Cuba during prohibition. At dockside, he had to open each bottle and pour it out before tossing the empty bottles away.
