This postcard was a very fun find.
It shows Matt being polite to my aunt very early in our relationship when he was invited for the first time to Greek Easter. The p.s. was incredibly hilarious, given his view of the house decoration now.
Also, he confused the address part of the postcard, making for post office additions. Or perhaps only had half a card’s worth of message.
Sara found the number one thing I was looking for.
When the big reunion of my grandmother’s family happened in 1986, all of the original siblings got a booklet listing birthdates of all the siblings and their children. The last I remembered seeing it was in the hall cupboard, but we went through that without finding it. Sara discovered it somewhere in the corner of the basement with all the books.
What I didn’t remember was that there was a fun poem to go with it.
You can see that the document was typed. It’s possible that my Aunt Pat may have done some of the typing.
Here’s the list of the original 15 and their parents. Following this page is a page for each of the siblings’ marriages and children.
I am very excited about this find. It’s nice to have everything in one place.
