We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Uncle Gabe & Aunt Rose Marie. Debbie prepared a delicious feast & we had fun doing some oral history. We asked Uncle & Aunt about their courtship, engagement, Gabe's travels in the army, and wedding. We got some great vignettes about Grandmom and Grandpop: Grandpop carried his big wooden toolbox on his shoulder & walked 3 miles to & from the shipyard to work everyday for many years --- how's that for commuting? It was touching to hear about their lives together. They are wonderfully sweet people & a joy to be with.
