Celebrating Uncle Lou and Aunt Rose

Yesterday we all celebrated Uncle Louis Albertini's 90th birthday!  90!  It was a very nice family gathering.  We also celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary.  I never noticed that they were married on Lou's birthday.  (I wonder if I have that right?)  68 years married represents a lot of hard work with a smattering of good luck thrown in once in a while.  That's a true testament to them.  Congratulations.

So nice to get together for happy occasions.  We learned that Diana and John will become grandparents of twins soon!  Congratulations Valerie and Dan.  What fun that will be to add to the tree.

A nice memory from yesterday:

Aunt Rose (Dalpiaz) and Louis Albertini with their children Diana Hall and Louis Albertini.

I was fiddling around trying to find something interesting to share with everyone for this event and came across this gem.  Take the time to watch the interview for the Veterans History Project done a couple of years ago.  How precious to have Uncle Lou and some of his memories documented in this way.  It's very moving.  He does tell a great story!
