A Family

-

 




Beginning   Good morning, dear family.  Here is a first draft of our family post.  I'm still struggling with background issues, so the look may change a bit, but it's a beginning.  It will be fun to explore who and where and what we are, as well as remembering...the most important thing...who we come from.


How it works  I'm thinking that in addition to stories, we can also add family news, memories, histories, questions about us, photos and (naturally) recipes, both new and old..we are, after all, a family of cooks as well as storytellers.  





Caveat  Be respectful, of course.  Except for correcting spelling (sorry...can't help it), your stories, etc. will appear as sent to me.  Length is not a problem...short, long, in-between...all welcome.

Send everything to me at rachelvictoria01@gmail.com and I will post them here.  Meanwhile...



a tutti...salute


P.S.  I'm not ignoring your title suggestions, I promise, but alas, the ones I tried are all taken or somehow "unsupported", whatever that means.

My siblings in order are Frank, Eileen, Charles, Mary Ellen, Ann and Tom whom we sadly lost several years ago, though his wife Jean and her children, Tommy and Sarah, and now Sarah's Riley Thomas, are not lost at all.   sometime in the late 1990's Mary Ellen, Charles, Vicky, Dad, Ann, Mom, Tom, Eileen, Frank In the family, I'm Vicky, or Aunt Vicky, one of the many Victorias named for our great-grandmother and who knows who else before that...Aunt Vi, Gloria [Victoria] Lucchesi Myers, Vi Gagliardi.  Except for Aunt Sadie and Janet, I think I am the oldest one among you.  Huh.  Oh, no...those Cozzoli boys (Tom and John) are older than I.

   Long time, no see! Hope you are doing well. My mom forwarded me the "family Q&A" email, but I've only just had the time to sit down and reply.  I am Mary Grace, daughter of Carol (Cozzoli) Zmuda and Henry Zmuda [and granddaughter of Joseph and Martha Cozzoli]. I don't have any siblings.   I grew up in the Panhandle for a few years, but called Gainesville my home for throughout middle school/high school and college. Now I live in Melbourne, FL (I wish it was Australia though!).  No children, unless you count my dog (who lives with my parents) and my cat (who lives with me)! I adopted my cat in the middle of college when he was just 8 weeks old. Now he's 3! His name is Sisko, after a Star Trek captain.  I work in the communications department at an aerospace & defense technology company, L3Harris (formerly known as Harris). I started last May! I'm actually in a rotational program, so I get to experience different areas of commun...
