Thanks to Most Loyal Alum and Blog Follower
Marty McGowan for responding to my Christmas story post with one of his own
from Christmas Day on Staten Island:
Here's our Christmas miracle from yesterday,
Annie's mom Frances talking to her grandson Marc Alfano via Skype. Marc works
for the US Foreign Service in Eretria, Africa. We were able to connect with him
about 3 pm our time, 10 pm his time. None of this was possible when I graduated
in 1973, for sure. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!”
Marty’s mother-in-law turned 100 on July 1,
2017. Did she enjoy the holidays? Here’s what Marty sent in a follow-up email: “You
wouldn't believe all the cookies and chocolate she consumed the past
few days! She has to use the walker because of a knee problem, but her legs are
still strong. Frances never drove a car, but walked all over the place here on
Staten Island. Just ask her how she used to walk around Silver Lake Reservoir
with her girlfriends back in the day. She is an inspiration.”
