is a link
to the handout from my beloved Uncle Frank’s Exhibit a year
or so after he passed away. I have to share it with you, as I am so
proud of him and how he helped make me who I am today. Frank Stefanes
was a wonderful uncle, friend, artist and teacher. Even on this day,
years after he left us for heaven, he is still one of my all time
favorite people. He taught me to LOVE: diversity, art, travel, books,
music and my heritage. As the youngest of two MUCH older siblings,
he supported me by always telling me that he and I were special “just
because we were the youngest!” Not a day goes by when I do not
regret that my husband and two very creative daughters never had time
to meet and love him like me and hundreds of others. If anyone reading
this knew my Uncle please email
me a story about him that I can share with my family that never
had the good fortune to know this AWESOME MAN! May his memory be eternal,
and may he, my dad, Joanne Dudek, and other loved ones be watching
over us all (especially Stephanie and Elaina).
Maria Menounos' Greek Christmas As you know I am Greek, and I love our holiday celebrations - apparently I am not the only one! " Food was very important," says Maria Menounos of her family's Christmas gatherings, which typically began with mass in their hometown of Medford, Mass., the night before. "It didn't matter where we were financially; the holidays were the holidays. Weeks before, we would start making pastries." Collision Six This is my niece's band. Rock On! People PKD Fears:
