Just
by chance I happened across your MAJOR-SMOLINSKI home page. I recognized
some names immediately because I must have met some of those folks when
I was pretty young and can still remember my mother, Elizabeth (Liz)
Kinsella, speaking about some of them. Besides that, Gert Smolinski
was my aunt. She and my father were siblings. I certainly remember Russet
Lane and the Irish setters that the Smolinski’s kept.
I thought you might be interested in the attached picture (above). It
was taken by Bill Smolinski at my Aunt Ruth Welch’s house in Marcellus.
Here in a nutshell is what's happening with me and my sister:
After LeMoyne I taught for three years (one at Manlius Military School
and two at Bishop Ludden) then I joined IBM in Endicott, NY. We spent
about 18 years there then moved to Boca Raton, FL, still with IBM and
worked there until I retired in 1997. We couldn't make up our mind where
in FL to move to so we moved to Plano, TX to be nearer to some of our
kids and grandkids.
We
have 5 children, in order of age:
xxx • Mary, is married and
has two girls, lives in Bel Air, MD
xxx • Katherine, is married
and has four boys, lives in Plano (about 1 mile away)
xxx • James, is married and
has two girls, lives in Piney Point, MD
xxx • Elizabeth, is married
and has a boy and a girl, lives in Keller, TX about 45 minutes from
here towards Ft Worth.
xxx • Patricia is mentally
disabled and lives with us
My sister Maureen lives in Annandale, VA. Her husband Bob Finn died
a couple of years ago. She has four children, in order of age:
xxx • Kathleen, is married
and has a boy and a girl, lives in Alexandria, VA
xxx • Michael, is married with
one girl, lives in Potomac, MD
xxx • Kevin, is not married
and lives with Maureen
xxx • James is married and
has one son, lives in Alexandria, VA
