hehe.. I do some, but try not to let it happen <grin>

Sounds like it <grin>  But I doubt pizza was a big thing then .. at least as
common as it now?

Neat :)  I knew there had to be some Italian blood over there somewhere <vbg>

Oh no.. you mean it's like those brussel sprouts that Hap made me try?? Lol

Can you imagine that house <grin>.. I guess it was more the case than not in
those days.

That's outrageous ..

That's really great :)  It is really neat to hear about other people's family
trees!  I met someone once whose godfather was Al Capone :) :)  I thought that
was outrageous.. I mean, of course it had to happen, but when you run into
someone who was connected somehow, it makes history so much more real.

That's great!  Bet it was greatly appreciated.

I bet :)

Take care,
