Gianni's daughters are Margherita, Maria Luigia (Giani) and Silvia.

Margherita gave us the tour of the piazza when we visited them 11 summers ago.

She is in the middle of her medical school doctoral studies.

Enrico sent this wonderful painting he created to us.

 

Mom in white prepared the scrumptious food.

She's smiling because her Mets just swept Atlanta!

 

We hope we made our Italian cousins feel as welcome here as they make our family members feel when we visit them.

 

 

 

July 26, 2006 -- Here's a fish tale with a reel hook - a stunned angler was speared and tossed into the ocean by the massive blue marlin he'd just caught.

The attack of the 800-pound sea creature Saturday left Ian Card, 32, of Bermuda, with a fist-sized wound in his chest - and one whale of a story.

"He was very lucky - it was a very serious injury," said Dr. Christian Wilmsmeier of the island's King Edward VII Hospital, where Card was in stable condition.

Card's dad, Alan, was with his son on their charter boat during the deep-sea fishing competition when the pair hooked the majestic, 14-foot beast.

But triumph quickly turned to near-tragedy when the fish suddenly leaped out of the water and impaled the son just below his collarbone.

"The fish all of a sudden changed direction and jumped. [It] made a leap, and Ian just happened to be in the way," his dad said.

Both Ian and the fish fell back into the ocean, as Card's dad frantically struggled to free his son.

The line was eventually cut and Card was freed and fished out.

 

 

Tish and Matt's final wedding pictures came out on a great web site.

Hi to all,
 
Just wanted to forward you pics of Jerry's brand new Acura.  Neat car! 

 Wow, a computer screen and navigation and the works! 

Cars are so high tech these days. 

Really a neat ride and I'm sure Jerry will enjoy this car for many years. 

We are happy for him.

Since Greg doesn't barbeque for us now, I have the chore.

Fortunately I used my engineering wits to make the hot dogs easier to turn over.
