Hi Paul: Wow I just saw Ellen's pic. I didn't even recognize her. She looks absolutely wonderful, not that she didn't look great back then too, but she doesn't even look like the same person. The water must be good in Jersey. You both look wonderful. I have to move there before it's too late for me. (lol)

Good morning all.

Hope you are having a good day so far. Yes I was the angel in St. Michaels feast. It was back in 1955 or 1956. I was 13 yrs old at the time. My dad was in charge of the parade and he volunteered my services. Got $25.00. Spent most of it that night in the feast. Sue I popped in to say hello. Have a great day.
