 ==Louise's Memory of Bob and Annette's Wedding==
-Bob and Annette had a lovely wedding.  They had asked Blanche's daughter Judy to be the flower girl, but just before the wedding, she got sick with the measles or mumps.  Louise was asked to substitute, and Irene made her dress.  It was light blue satin, with an overdress of white dotted swiss.  Louise's brother Michael was the ring bearer.  At the reception, Albert and the LaPlante cousins played music and sang.  Albert wanted Louise to sing too, but she was too shy.  Albert tried to bribe her with a large Maine chocolate milk shake, but no go.  Much to his frustration, Louise sang all the way home to Connecticut in the car!

 My aunts Aldea, Freda and Mina were close to my mother and we saw them quite often, especially the LaPlantes (Aldea).  Uncle Jim we saw very infrequently, he lived in Merrimack, Mass,  a long distance to travel in those days.  I don't remember when I found out Aunt Freda was in a nudist colony.  That wasn't talked (about) in front of the children.  It had to be somewhere around (when I was) 12, I think, but I'm not certain.  Aunt Freda married at least 3 times, maybe 4, I don't know.  She was very difficult to keep track of.
