I will never forget the great times in Ocean City. Thank you for the opportunity to spend weeks with you there. I often think about one time when we filled up pringles cans with tiny little frogs and someone knocked a can over in the porch in O.C. There were hundreds of little frogs hopping around the porch. I still drive by to see if anyone is there every time I'm at the shore. I'm also glad my kids had the opportunity to visit with you there. You'll be greatly missed.

I will always remember Aunt Rose and Uncle Joe's family gatherings in Paoli. Growing up with great memories of the whole Donovan clan.

Where do I begin, I guess first and foremost, 104 52nd Street, Ocean City. This address represents all of my summers as a child (the best times of my life), the penny candy store, the playground, the Cinzano Umbrella, outdoor showers, a three wheeled bicycle with a basket, pork roll sandwiches on the boardwalk, board games at the kitchen table!!! FUN!!!
Friendship drive, represents family gatherings, singing on the fireplace ledge, little pretzels in a jar that was always filled to the top, jesters on the wall, pictures of the orchestra, and famous people, the back room of the basement that held the hidden treasures of games for us to play, the bar that we sat around drinking our sodas, but we felt so cool. I also remember an unforgettable train trip when I was about 8 to the big city to visit the Academy of Music, and box seats to see the Nutcracker. Getting to go back stage and see the actors and actresses, and culminating with a dinner at a fancy restaurant where I got my first Shirley Temple. How can I forget all of the excellent tickets to some great concerts, and especially very special tickets to the Philadelphia Music Awards?
A word I would use to describe Rosemary and Joseph Santarlasci, Classy.
Aunt Rosie was always impeccably groomed, and Uncle Joe always had a smile on his face. They had a way of making you feel special, and I will never forget all of the great memories that I have because of them. I will always miss them, but I will never forget them!

The memories of 52nd Street in Ocean City and the dinner gatherings in Paoli will be treasured forever, especially the fireplace stage upon which we all performed as kids.
