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!
