May 1966, before the pool, the deck, the dog run in the backyard, there was this house.

As i now know this is Nonna and her sister (Antoinette?). This has got to be someone's wedding as there is a waiter and some dancing going on in the background. Where and when was this taken?

This looks like my mom, and its got to be somewhere in Mount Vernon. Anybody recognize where?

camping trip

The date on the back of this photo is May 1977. That makes me 13 in this picture. Here are some things I remember about this trip. It rained and rained, I don't think we ever really got to go fishing, at least not enough that I remember. I do remember we laughed a lot, and this was the first time I was allowed to use my newly minted curse words with adults. I also remember Harry and I having a lot of fun with bodily functions. Harry and I slept in one of the bunks on the side, and Pop slept on the kitchenette that folded out like a bed. I know Uncle Harry was with us, and my Dad was not.

This one is dated May 1967, is that really a red boat in the backyard? What did Poppy do with it, lower it into the quarry to go fishin?

Nice looking crew, who's the guy with the big spectacles and the wind in his hair? Also, look at the lady on the porch, who do you think this is? When and where?

Since it looks to me like Linda, I'm thinking its Aunt Vera. Where and when?

Nanny and the kids

I took this a couple of years ago in Nanny's apartment. I feel terrible that I don't go so much anymore. Olivia asked me the other day "Daddy when are we going to Nonna's apartment again?" I have very mixed feelings about it all.

Front Steps

This photo screams the 50s. Check out Angelo's flat top. As we know now, that is Patty the dog. (not the weiner dog) What happened to Kathy's hand?

Kitchen Talk

Kitchen Talk, originally uploaded by Nick Allison.

This is a great picture. So many little moments, like look at Vera and Linda, what was going on this day? How many women can fit in one tiny kitchen? Who are the two ladies who ducked out of range on the left? Can someone name everyone?

Ladies

Easter Sunday 1965, also from the same album as the one before. As posted, Nanny, Kathy, Linda and Linda. Nanny still has that set of chairs and the breakfront in her apartment now. Where was this taken?

Cousins

Easter Sunday 1965 according to the note written on it. This one is from an album my Mom had given me. As noted, Linda, Harry and me.

Generations

I made the album! That's Pop on the left, I'm guessing Nana is Pop's mom and me(!) and Nanny. My mom as it dated, but where is this place?

Men

Men, originally uploaded by Nick Allison.

This is a cool shot. There was a date written on the back May 29, 1938. And I believe the back row is Tony Pellicio, Jim DiMauro, and Nick DiMauro. I don't know the other two dudes in the front row or where this is.

Playing Pepper

I believe this is John Catapano, Sam Mottola and Jim Dimauro. Anybody know when and where?

This is Vera and Linda. I am going to guess that Aunt Vera is eight in this picture and Linda is four. That would put this somewhere around 1945. Does anyone know where this picture was taken?

Vera and Harry and Young Harry

Newborn baby Harry, must be 1961.

Kathy and Anthony Pelliccio

If my math and guessing are right this is Aunt Kathy's communion which makes it sometime around 1956?
