82 years ago today on December 28, 1935 my parents were married at 45 Wildwood Street, Winchester Massachusetts. This was my mother’s family home.
My grandparents home has different owners now – but doesn’t the house look lovely, I stopped to view it this past May when I was visiting one of my cousins who lives in Winchester. I have warm feelings as I think of that happy day so long ago. In attendance were my 3 (half) siblings, my father was a widower with a son age 11 and 2 daughters age 8 and 7. My sisters have told me how awkward they felt and how warm and gracious my mother’s mother was. She just took them under her wing, so to speak and made them feel at ease. Unfortunately none of the photos of the occasion turned out.
I have lots of other family photos to share however:
I was born early in December a year later
