History:
When I was growing up, my parents were struggling to pay the mortgage so weekly card games with my aunt and uncle (Art and Liz Brown) was their entertainment. Our dinner was Italian Delight, green salad and garlic bread. I looked forward to this feast and spending time with my cousin, Dave. As our parents began earning more money, they would occasionally splurge for steaks for the adults. Dave and I still ate Italian Delight and were never disappointed. Thanks Mom and Liz.
Art, Liz, Mom, Dad and Dave are no longer with us.
