My sister, Jean Sproull and her husband, Chuck, and their first-born, Rebecca, Silver Spring, MD 1977.
My niece, Rebecca Romine and her husband, Paul, and their two children, Anna and Jackson, PawPaw, Madison County, NC 2017.
We had a pleasant visit with our niece and her family a couple of weeks ago. Rebecca lives in Indiana, a state we don't visit much, so it was nice to have them stop here on their way to Gatlinburg and Myrtle Beach. Rebecca was the first of my now-deceased sister's children and she just turned 40 years old.
Vintner, Mt. Etna, Sicily 2005.
With Benjamin, our cousin Enzo Costantino, and his friend, John Carlo. We drove up in the mountains, to the north slope of Mt. Etna, Enzo looking for wine. We stopped in a small village and he asked around and we came to this man. I can't remember his name, if I ever knew it. He had barrels in the underground of his house that looked like they had been there for centuries. We tasted a couple of different varieties and Enzo bought a few gallons for his own home use.
