“When You receive an Invitation… DO GO”
“Did “YOU” – miss out…”

Can you think of anything better …
… than to share with your grand-children – the Orphanage – that you lived in “seventy” years ago… and still standing – and as always – there are children who will need a HOME – away from HOME…
Did you ever think – that you would attend a “PICNIC” that was given for all … of the old “GRADUATES” – of the …. German St. Vincent Orphan Home…
… and them… you meet a girl from your own graduating class of 1952???
That was… only some 63 years ago… when you – both were young – and so full of vim and vigor to start a new LIFE – never gave a thought of conquering the world …
… but I do know that – I have heard that term used in some speeches – when something is planned – and no one knows who will be there – what a joy it is – to find that – you are welcomed with friendship and someone who really does remember you – from way – back, and when!
L to R That would be “ME” and standing in the middle is – Theresa Wieland-Eckerl and her husband.
The best part of meeting Theresa – was that she remembered me… so well – that she went into great detail about one of our class assignments …and was so exact – in what I had said – in front of the class – for that special “CLASS” assignment.
I just LOVE when someone is really paying attention to what is going on – and then can remember it so correctly – almost… and as if – it all just happened… yesterday!
“I hate to… but…”never the less”… still have to – say this…”
“But those who received the “INVITATION” and did not show up on SUNDAY – the 27th – missed out on a real good time!”
“WOW” and another “WOW”
St. Vincent’s Home Picnic, invitation said to bring your FAMILY…
… so this photo has some of my FAMILY!
This is my son, Al and his two daughters… which are my “GRAND-DAUGHTERS” – that is “JAIME” on the left… and then on the right is “ALYSSA” –
and what better word than “WOW” can I say???
Oh.. well – how about another “BIG WOW!”
We, all of us… had FUN and enjoyed everything and meeting everyone that… did show up – and our rating – just to let you know …
that is for those who did not show up… it was “Excellent” – “TOP DRAWER” and you might just say “OFF THE CHARTS!”
