A (future) Doctor in the Family

Meg Mathewson was one of the first 6 students accepted as a member of the inaugural class at The Commonwealth Medical College, Scranton's new medical school. She is looking forward to starting in the fall. We are very proud of her.

Graduation Day

Matthew Williams graduated today from Mansfield University. He graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Geography, with a concentration in Environmental Sciences. He will begin a new job in January at the Northern Tier Planning Commission. We are proud of him!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here's wishing everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving, wherever you are! I hope you all get to eat a lot, and relax.

I'll be having dinner at my mom's (yum, can't wait!). Check in and let us know how you are all doing! Oh, and good luck on Black Friday!!

In Honor of Our Veterans

We honor our veterans today. My dad was a very proud veteran, as were most, if not all, of our dads. He helped create the monument you see at the bottom, which is in Sturges.

If you have not done so yet, be sure to place your veteran's name in the World War II registry. The site is at http://www.wwiimemorial.com/default.asp?page=home.asp , look at the links to add a name to the registry. They will verify the information and include it, and then you can find their names in the official World War II registry. You can find the honoree Robert Joseph Konkol here: http://www.wwiimemorial.com/registry/search/pframe.asp?HonoreeID=1459167&popcount=2&tcount=2

Jason and Grandma

Right after Jason came home from the hospital.

Let's Go Back a Few Years

I thought if we were going to have a blog on "The Descendants of George and Anna Evanko," we should include the direct descendants. I dug up some snapshots of Baba and Dede's 55th wedding anniversary, taken on October 17, 1965. You can see them here: http://picasaweb.google.com/jjlbs49/55thWeddingAnniversary?authkey=ntIjL9x0SbQ. If you've never used Picasa before, run it in "Slide Show" mode. I think the images look better (although they were taken with an Instamatic, so don't expect great). You will probably want to set the duration to something longer than the default of three seconds, which you can do by using the controls at the bottom of the screen.

FOUR GENERATIONS TWICE

Meet the 2 EMMAs

Three Sisters

Three sisters...Aunt Nancy, Aunt Margie, and Aunt Emma. And we miss the others that are no longer with us: Uncle Joe, Uncle John, Uncle Tom, Aunt Olga, and Aunt Mary. We also miss Uncle Bob, Aunt Helen, Uncle Joe, Aunt Evelyn, Uncle Steve, and Aunt Marge.

The Young'uns

The next generation of cousins. I see we've go some squatters in this picture, too!

The Cousins

Aunt Margie's 75th Birthday Party brought us all together. We had a great time that day. (Haha, look at the squatters in the front.)
