Growing up in Hanover, living across the street from the family, & spending many wonderful times at the Alexopoulos household. Sophie, Jim & I had many great memories. My mom, Phyl, & Maria—were coffee drinking buddies. Maria’s Greek cookies were the best ever. Maria, Pete, Jim & Sophie were a very important part of my childhood memories & will always be a part of my ❤.
