A

TRIBUTE

TO MY

FAMILY

THOUGH THE YEARS HAVE PASSED, I HAVE MANY, MANY, FOND MEMORIES I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE. I DON'T HAVE PICTURES OF EVERYONE, (ALTHOUGH I WISHED I DID). I HOPE YOU ENJOY REMEMBERING THE MEMORIES, AS MUCH AS I ENJOYED PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER. FEEL FREE TO WRITE TO ME AND SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THE FAMILY PAGE. MAYBE SOME PICTURES, SOME SAYINGS, SOME MEMORIES OF YOUR OWN YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE. THIS CAN BE OUR SPECIAL WAY OF REMEMBERING TOGETHER !!!!

A SPECIAL PLACE FOR OUR MOST CHERISHED ANGELS

GRANDMA & GRANDPA YANK

AUNT BETTY

AUNT MARY

UNCLE BABE

UNCLE EDDIE (HUNT)

AUNT ALICE

UNCLE BEN

UNCLE VINCENT

GRANDMA & GRANDPA YANK, THE BEGINNING OF OUR WONDERFUL FAMILY. THIS TAKEN IN HOUSE ON FRANKLIN STREET. I AM SURE EVERYONE CAN REMEMBER THEIR SPECIAL MOMENTS SPENT AT 17 FRANKLIN STREET?

I AM SORRY ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THIS PICTURE, BUT I WANTED TO ADD IT ANYWAY. THIS IS MY MOM (AUNT MARY), WHO I BELIEVE IS HOLDING THEO, AUNT ALICE, HOLDING ON RAFT, & DO YOU ALL REMEMBER GRANDMA INGER? SHE IS COMING DOWN THE LADDER. TAKE NOTICE, THIS IS TAKEN AT SALLY & RUSS'S HOUSE SHORTLY AFTER COMPLETION OF THE POOL, BEFORE THE CEMENT WALK WAS PUT IN, & ALSO WHERE THE CLOTHESLINE IS IS NOW A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN SALLY HAS CREATED. OH, THOSE MEMORIES!!

I AM SURE WE ALL CAN REMEMBER THOSE VERY SPECIAL WEEKENDS SPENT AT THE CONVENT VISITING SALLY, THE WHOLE FAMILY WOULD GO, & WE ALL WOULD HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME. PLUS WE ALWAYS HAD EDDIE TO ENTERTAIN US WITH THE ACCORDION. I WONDER IF HE STILL PLAYS IT TODAY??

AUNT HELEN & UNCLE BEN, I DO NOT KNOW WHERE OR WHEN THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN, IF ANYONE SHOULD KNOW WOULD YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW TOO. AUNT HELEN & UNCLE BEN, THEY TREATED EACH OF US AS IF WE WERE THEIR OWN CHILDREN, TO THEM WE WERE ALL VERY SPECIAL, AS THEY ARE TO US, THEN TODAY, YESTERDAY AND ALWAYS. I TO REMEMBER THOSE MANY TRAIN TRIPS TO N.Y.C., TO BALL GAMES & RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL, BUT THE ONE MEMORY I HOLD DEAR TO ME IS WHEN WE USE TO GO TO THE AUTO MATS, I WOULD THINK IT WAS SO COOL TO PUT MONEY IN A SLOT NEXT TO THE FOOD YOU WANTED AND OPEN THE WINDOW ON THE WALL AND GET YOUR SANDWHICH OR WHATEVER IT WAS YOU WERE GOING TO BE EATING!! I BELIEVE THEY WERE CALLED HORNHATS, THEY ARE NOT AROUND ANYMORE, BUT THAT IS WHY WE HAVE MEMORIES!! MISS YOU UNCLE BEN :-(

AUNT HELEN & UNCLE HARRY, THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN IN THE FRONT YARD ON DUROCHER TERRACE. AUNT HELEN, WHERE EVER SHE GOES, SHE BRINGS A LEMON IN HER PURSE, FOR HER CUP OF TEA. PLUS IF SHE WAS COMING TO POUGHKEEPSIE SHE WOULD ALWAYS MAKE SURE SHE WENT TO CAPITAL BAKERY FOR SOME OF THOSE DELICIOUS BAGELS OR HARD ROLLS. THATS A STOP THAT COULD NOT BE MISSED.. UNCLE HARRY HE WAS THE SPORTSMAN, EITHER IT WAS HUNTING OR FISHING. MORE THEN ONCE I REMEMBER GOING TO THEIR HOUSE IN WASSIC AND SEEING A DEER HANGING IN THE TREE, ( HIS PRIZE), ONCE I BROUGHT A TAIL FROM A DEER TO SHOW & TELL IN SCHOOL. I DONT THINK I WOULD DO THAT TODAY. HA HA HA AUNT HELEN & UNCLE HARRY BOTH ENJOYED PLAYING GOLF TOGETHER AND BOWLING EVERY WEEK TOO. MY LITTEL ANGELS WATCH OVER THEM EACH & EVERY DAY!!

DO YOU THINK THIS MIGHT BE EASTER SUNDAY?? I KNOW ITS TAKEN AT 17 FRANKLIN STREET, & IT MUST BE A SPECIAL OCCASSION, BECAUSE UNCLE HUNT DOES NOT HAVE HIS FISHING HAT ON!!! HA HA HA HOW CUTE EVERYONE LOOKED HERE, ALL DRESSED UP, & WITH LITTLE WHITE GLOVES TOO!!! UNCLE HUNT WAS ANOTHER SPORTSMAN IN THE FAMILY,AND I KNOW OF MORE THEN ONE TIME WHEN HE WOULD GET TOGETHER WITH UNCLE HARRY TO PLAY A ROUND OF GOLF. WE MISS YOU TO UNCLE HUNT :-(

ANOTHER EVENT TO REMEMBER WAS THE TIMES WE WOULD ALL GET TOGETHER AT FRANKLIN STREET TOO TO HELP PAINT THE GARAGE. HOW MANY REMEMBER THAT?? IT WAS ALWAYS A FUN TIME, SOMETIMES WE EVEN GOT SOME CHANGE TO BE ABLE TO GO DOWN TO THE CORNER STORE, I THINK IT WAS CALLED LOU'S, TO GET CANDY,OR MAYBE TO GO OVER IN THE BALL PARK TO GET A SLICE OF JOES PIZZA, MMMMM I CAN TASTE IT NOW!! DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE TARAZAN ROPE THE BIGGER GUYS PUT UP IN THE LOT BEHIND FRANKLIN STREET, WE ALL USE TO SWING ON IT. GUESS IT NO LONGER LOOKS LIKE THIS TODAY. :-(

HERE IS PART OF THE GANG NOW!!! AGAIN WE ARE AT FRANKLIN STREET, ANOTHER GATHERING, I DO NOT RECALL THE DATE THOUGH, BUT WE LOOK AS THOUGH WE ARE HAVING OR HAD A GOOD TIME. CAN YOU GUESS WHO IS WHO IN THIS PHOTO? ALL GOD'S LITTLE ANGELS!

HERE IS A MEMORY I KNOW WE ALL CHERISH, THE YEARLY CHRISTMAS EVE PARTY. IN THIS PHOTO IT'S LONNIE GETTING A GIFT FROM SANTA, WHO IS BEING PLAYED BY AUNT MARY & UNCLE LOU'S NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR ON DUROCHER TERRACE, MR VANVLACK. THE ANNUAL CHRISTMAS EVE PARTY WAS A YEARLY EVENT FOR YEARS, AS WAS THE FAMILY EASTER EGG HUNT. I THINK WE ARE ALL SO VERY SPECIAL FOR HAVING SUCH A LOVING AND CARING FAMILY, A FAMILY THAT HAS KEPT US ALL TOGETHER FOR SO MANY YEARS. WE ARE STILL TRYING TO KEEP THE FAMILY TOGETHER EVEN TODAY, & THIS MAKES US ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE FAMILIES TODAY TO HAVE THAT CLOSENESS THAT KEEPS US ALL IN CONTACT TODAY. LETS KEEP THIS FAMILY TOGETHER ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS & IN OUR MINDS AND ALSO WHEN WE CAN ALL GET TOGETHER AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE YEAR. WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS VERY RARE TODAY, SO LETS KEEP IT GROWING, BY ADDING ON TO THIS PAGE!!!!!!!

THIS WAS TAKEN DURING ONE OF OUR COUSIN'S PICNIC'S, I BELIEVE IT WAS AT BAIRD PARK. ONE OF THE FEW TIMES OF THE YEAR WE CAN ALL STILL GET TOGETHER. GOOD PLANNING !! I KNOW THE FIGURES ARE A BIT SMALL, BUT I AM SURE YOU CAN PICK OUT, WHO IS WHO!!!! ENJOY!!
