50th ANNIVARSARY
Surprise Party for
NATALIE AND PAUL GITTO

September, 1993.


When I was a kid growing up in the Queens section of Floral Park I lived about five blocks away from my Dad's cousin's Paul and Natalie Gitto. I enjoyed walking over their house and hanging out with my cousins Lillian and Monica. Sometimes on Saturday afternoons I would stop by with my friend Jeffrey Weber and have these great talks with Paul about aircraft design and other scientific things. Anyway, what I am trying to say is, even thought we are not first cousins, I love these people.

In the last decade or so we have lost some of the family members who are in these photographs. Although I feel sad for the loss, it's good to remember family members and all the good times we have all spent together.

This party was a great one. I remember having a great time. I believe these photographs say it all.
