Legacy Magazine
by Carol Heppner

I create craft projects for various magazines. This is one of my articles from Fall, 2006. It shows readers how to use their family history to create little books that are then placed in altered cigar boxes. It's one of my favorite articles because I used my own Lopetrone branch history for the article that appeared in Legacy Magazine (Stampington Publications).

My Parents

By Mary Angela Lopetrone Andali Spinnato

.

This is my mother and father. My mother is Rosa Lopetrone 1931, born of Angela Maria Ciodo and Guiseppe Lopetrone di Penzera. This is a photo when my mother first came to Canada to join her husband who had left her two years prior to make a better life for them. My father first met my eldest brother Gaetano when he was two years old.

This second photo is from last November 2006. They are still healthy and very much active with their family and friends. My parents had five children, Gaetano (Guy), Joseph, Mary (that's me), Laura and John.

Our last name is Andali and my father was from San Giovanni in Fiore, (pedraro).

Passion

by Annie Smith

Here are photos with Ralphie and Delta and Me and Sarge. Delta looks so much better now, she was really thin back then (when this photo was taken), she's a good girl I rode her a few times last week, she's a great horse, I love her and she's finally learning about affection, I don't think anyone ever gave her hugs and kisses before. We were riding for what seemed like hours tonight, I rode Sarge and Ralphie rode Delta, trying out his new saddle Then Sue (our friend) was teaching us how to do the trail course, Sarge is really good at that, Delta wouldn't do it, I had her doing it awhile ago but she wouldn't do it for Ralphie today,
