Kathryn "Kate" O'Connor

Kate lived across the street from our family on Fleetwood Lane in Minoa during the time we were growing up all the way through grammar school, high school, and college. Most of our family lived in Michigan, and none in New York, so she and Leo (Ponjo), her husband, took all of us kids under their wings. Kate was really our Honorary Grandmother. She was there for all of the baptisms, First Communions, graduations, etc.

Kate's personality was reflected in the many beautiful pictures...
