As he was Tom's father, I [Julie] paid for the site and wanted to let my husband set this up for his own father.  Thomas died before finishing it, so some things I have had to put in.  I greatly admire my mother and father-in-law.

This picture is from about August, 1991.  Tom's parents, grandmother, and sister came to meet Tom's girl-friend, Julie D. Houlding.  It went very well, I assume, his Dad gave me a kiss on the cheek when they left!  All I did was give him a hug.  Normal for me, I'm part Italian and French.  Grandma Wambeke, Margaret, was a very special lady.  She told me all about her children, especially one that is a nurse.  That nurse is like her mom, very special.  
  The family came to where Thomas lived once a year, in the summer.  The family is a farm family, so your time for travel is limited.  We were talking about marriage, but I clearly felt I was under inspection.  Tom proposed Dec 16, 1991, so I must have passed.  When they were saying goodbye I hugged Gaston.  He kissed my cheek!
