Joanne Frontiero Writes…

Congratulations to the winners of both the senior and junior women’s crews, the Breakfast Club and the Savages. Also to all the women and girls, win or lose, who have contributed to carrying on this tradition of twenty years!! This past week has had some really close exciting races in both the men’s and women’s. Thank you also to Felicia Ciaramitaro Mohan for all her photos and videos for us to look back at all of them in the future! I know your heart is with your Daughter’s crew, but you always included every crew in your pictures, so that there would be a history to look back on for everyone. I am especially proud of both of my crews today. We may not have won, but we tried like hell, and that’s all you can ask for. Viva San Pedro!

Happy 65th Wedding Anniversary!

Can you imagine–sixty five years–truly an inspiration!

June 24th was my mother and father-in-laws 65th wedding anniversary. We’ve been celebrating all week and last night we had a beautiful dinner at Duckworth’s, our family’s go-to place for special occasions (and every other excuse to head to dinner there). Dinner was beautiful in every way, from the exquisite entrees, appetizers, and desserts to the outstanding service provided by Dan and Colleen. Thank you Duckworth Family for making our family’s celebration wonderfully memorable.

Cornelius Hauck Steve Marvin ©Kim Smith 2015Here we are in Cincinnati on May 5th this past spring celebrating my father-in-laws NINETIETH birthday. He and his best friend Steve Marvin, also 90, have been friends since they were babies.

Cornelius Hauck ©Kim Smith 2015Note the cake decorated with a train scene. My father-in-law has been passionate about trains since he was a toddler, to the extent that he and his friend Bob Richardson founded the Colorado Railroad Museum, which is located in Golden Colorado.
