Great horse show memories and days at Liams Irish Tavern....Thinking of all of you at this time.

You are so right Ann! A special reunion for a special family!

I will always remember the days the Bradways moved to Hiram Road. I can still see the car with many belongings coming down the street. I think I was with Debbie Breen. And from that day forward they were one of the Hiram Road gang! 4 great boys with 2 great parents And a Dad who was a substitute teacher that i was blessed to know. Loved their restaurants as well. Fond memories from a blessed childhood. And blessed to meet their daughter at the Oriental Pearl in Pinefield and see both Mr. and Mrs. Bradway along with the Breens at Nobscots many times!
Wonderful memories of a wonderful family. If i can change a court hearing i will be there tomorrow. If not, know that my heart is with you all.
Love and Prayers, Thea Sapino Stewart and Kevin too!
