I know we are all looking forward to the reunion this upcoming weekend! Thanks again Moran & Ginetti families, for hosting all of us. Below, you'll find some wonderful photos of Santomasso family picnics through the years. A few months ago George sent me a nicely edited photo of the 1958 picnic, complete with everyone's name. Underneath it, you'll find the original photo, along with some other candid shots from that day. Next, you'll find photos from a lake outing in 1963 (does anyone know where that might have been?), and a great photo of Ida, Roberta, Carmel, and Theresa from July 4, 1971. Enjoy!

Yes folks, another birthday!
Smiling faces all around. And Joey, that grin and the side glance - priceless. John, any memories of that station wagon? Enjoy! I've made some assumptions here, please let me know if I labeled anyone incorrectly. These photos are great!
Enjoy! Some nice photos - Armand, Carmel and John in June and then again in December of 1950. The last photo is Armand's birthday, sitting in front of his cake with two of his buddies, Collie and Jake.
A few months ago when I posted "Backyard Fun - July 1950", John wrote to me describing some photos he remembered of a man who lived behind the house at Shelter Street. Mr. Augustine. Well, here they are! The date on the back of these photos is June 1957.
Does anyone else remember him? Here are John's remembrances below; "He used to go to the chicken market, which was just a couple of blocks away, on Grand Ave, corner of James St., I think, every day to bring back his leather shopping bag filled with chicken heads. He had a sawed of section of phone pole standing up in the yard that he used as a chopping block to chop up the chicken heads and feed his huge clowder of cats. If you ever find a picture of an old man with a leather cap, leather vest, standing holding up an axe up with cats all around him, that would be Augustine." |
