A Toast to Aunt Mary

Following the funeral of Aunt Mary Conlon, the cousins (grandchildren of John and Jennie) and their spouses drank a toast to Aunt Mary while listening to "Danny Boy" on the juke box and we captured it.  Look closely to find Aunt Mary in the photo.

Spontaneous 2010 Conlon Reunion

Many of the Conlon cousins and spouses attended Aunt Mary's funeral today. Following the luncheon we all had a nice visit and thought we'd consider it this years gathering/reunion. Pat and Anita had left before these photos were taken but we got them in the "Toast" group photo.

An interesting photo...

Check out how it was made

During a recent visit to Sturgeon Bay we discovered this picture in the basement of St Joseph's Church.  The large picture on the wall is made up of minitures of all the parishioners of the church who had their pictures taken for the church booklet - pretty cool.  We found Aunt Pat in about a dozen places.

Conlon Reunion 2010 CANCELLED

Hi Cousins,

Seems as though there are too many conflicts with the Conlon Reunion date this year and it has been canceled. Only 8 people besides Helen and Dan and Anita and I were able to attend. It just didn't make sense to hold the event with only 12 people. Please share this info with your family and those that don't have e-mail.

We'll pass the packet to Aunt Catherine's family and they can try again when the time is right.

Pat and Anita

Pat & Anita Conlon Family

Pat (grandson of John and Jennie) and Anita Conlon with their three sons, Eric, Chris and Jon, home in Sister Bay for Al Johnson's Funeral in June, 2010. They all worked at Al's Restaurant through college. Al sponsored Anita to the US 46 years ago and has been a close friend ever since. Here's the Journal/Sentinel obit for Al Johnson and a news story from WFRV-TV interviewing Anita.
