Well, not really the center of the universe, but it was to us growing up....5th and Parade, that is. Gramma and Grampa always lived in Erie, 8 of the aunts and uncles did also. There were other places to see and to visit, but Erie was home.
As our generation grew up, some of us established our lives and families far away from Erie. Of the 15 of us, we live in Ohio, Florida, Texas, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina and some still remain in Erie.
Our children live in Washington, Pennsylvania (other than Erie), Texas, Kansas, New York, New Jersey, West Viriginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Florida, and of course Erie. We have one doing a semester in Japan, and one providing military service in Iraq. God Bless you, Steve and keep you safe.
Wow!! we sure have spread out!!
As I think about home, the first thought that comes to mind is the home and family that I grew up with. I have been gone from Erie for almost 39 years!! But thoughts of Erie still brings a smile to my face and warmth to my heart.
I believe that as a group, we have made efforts to stay connected. Email and this wonderful blog that Richie created are two ways we can recall the past fondly and remain part of each other going forward.
Recalling memories and creating new ones........
