We had special guests for the Duke at FSU basketball game. Nancy's Aunt Ethel and Uncle John spent a couple of nights with us. Ethel is Nancy's Dad's sister - you all remember Jack - Nancy's Dad. Ethel and John "snowbird" every winter in Vero Beach. When Nancy was a kid - every summer - she would spend a week with Aunt Ethel and Uncle John at the Jersey Shore and also a week in the Pocono Mountains at Saylor's Lake. Nancy's best friend was Cousin Ruth Ann - their daughter.
They made the long drive up from Vero Beach in about 6 hours. They are on the road "back home" as I type. Their real home is near Allentown, Pennsylvania. They are both originally from Tamaqua and Lansford in the coal regions of Pennsylvania. John worked on the railroad for 40 years. Ethel worked for the Atlas Powder Company making dynamite. John went to the school building in Lansford - where I taught my entire career.
