The Greco Family Reunion

On the last weekend in July, we traveled to the Greco family reunion in upstate New York, where Jack was the youngest member of the family. Mark's great grandparents settled in Endicott, New York after crossing the Atlantic from southern Italy and passing through Ellis Island. Jack is actually a full quarter Italian! Many Greco family members still live in Endicott, and there were about 100 people at the reunion. Jack was a real trooper with all of the traveling, delays, and stimulation, taking it all in stride. We had a really special weekend, spending time with immediate and extended family. Some highlights were the interview of Mark's four great aunts that are still living--they are amazing and lively women--, and visiting Jim Roma's bakery, a local family business with their own unique and delicious pizza and Italian baked goods galore. Jack also loved meeting his aunts and uncles--Jim, Teresa, Andy, and Gianna (Ann, Chuck, and Lily could not be there)--as well as spending quality time with his grandparents Joyce and Bernie. We really had a great time and are so glad we could be there!
