Connections

by Lina Williams (DeMarco)

This is recent photograph (late Aug/06) of a visit from my first cousin Stefano Lopetrone and his friends (also visiting from Italy). The group of 5 visited several cities in the US and then came to Windsor, in Ontario, Canada, before going to Toronto then home.

The photo is a group shot and consists of Stefano (sitting, second from right in a striped shirt) and myself (Stefano's father & my mother are siblings), I'm standing on the right in a jean jacket. The rest of the gang are my husband Tom (centre in brown shirt) and Stefano's travelling companions.

This photo symbolizes the first meeting of cousins in Canada and hopefully the start of a continued family connection.

We would love to publish your Lopetrone family photos and stories. Email carol at cmheppner@yahoo.com. This is my brother, Paul Marchelitis (our great grandfather was Antonio Lopetrone of Archbald, PA). The collage is of his family and the fact that this fall he ran 40 yards in 6 seconds, of which he is very proud.
