Caraline, what a story you have here!! Can you imagine going to the World's Fair in one of the early automobiles? I wonder if she saw my father's foto. My grandmother won first prize in the foto contest in that World's Fair. My dad's picture was on display. It was taken when he was about your age. Isn't that something!!! I am sorry to hear that your ancestors died in a fire. It seems like your great grandfather lived a long time after his wife died. I bet it was really hard losing your whole family like that. You've done a terrific job telling this story, Caraline. I bet Nicola and Theresa would be very proud to know you dedicated this podcast to them. I am very proud of you. Nice job!---Mrs. R.-T.

Caraline,

What a great story. I never heard Papa say that one before. Maybe with the World's fair comes back to NY Papa will take you. I can't wait until you and Tommie get married so you can share all of the great stories the two of you will experience when you have grandchildren.

Love,

Caraline I really enjoyed listening about your great-grandparents... It was really interesting to know that he worked on a goat and cheese farm making cheese... I like cheese. :)
And it's sad that they died in a fire... But since they're related to YOU they are related to ME TOO!!!!
