Family pictures l949


This is my brother Charles Giani, Jr. aka Sonny.
I believe he is about 10 years old here.
He had rheumatic fever and really gained alot of weight.





This is my mom wearing an apron as usual...
Not sure when this was taken .

Here is my dad in his work clothes.
He always wore a hat.

Me and my cousins Jackie Massa and Charlotte DeWitt.
Taken on July 15, l939. I was 3 years old, not sure of
Jackie age Charlotte was 5 years old.
Jackie and Charlotte are both deceased.
Charlotte died just 4 days before her 8th birthday.

and died in middle age.
