Wegmans (West Henrietta, NY, ~1988-1992)

At some point after moving to Rochester, my mother discovered Wegman's Supermarkets. They had a once state-of-the-art store right near their house (I think my parents were already there when it was opened). Wegman's is a privately-held (my mother would always tell of her encounters with Danny Wegman), Rochester-based, 72-store chain that is always rated at or near the top in any supermarket ratings (e.g. 2009 Consumer Reports says it's the best).

For my mother, her love of it was almost a religious thing. It was a really big part of her life. Thus, supermarket pictures...



The two families together, once again, Sue and Betsy Fisher in the back (Sam's wife and daughter), Betty and Judi (from my mother's side) with my mother in the front. I'm guessing they were all there for my mother's 60th birthday party in 1988.


Stefanie and Josh.

Three Pictures from Betti Joy's Wedding (Somewhere in NJ, probably late 1970s)

It's Sunday, so family event picture. I like this picture because back and center is Larry, my mother's nephew at my father's niece's wedding, as was typical then (the two large families were very close). Seated left to right: me, Elizabeth (just a sleeper, but we were sometimes pretty tired at my cousins' weddings--with 19 first cousins, there were many--because we brought our kid(s)), Mike (Moose, Betsy's ex-husband), Betsy (Cousin #2/Sam's #1.5), unknown. Standing: Larry (Cousin #3/Betty's #1), Judy (Larry's wife), unknown couple. Betti, whose wedding it was and is pictured below, is Annie's first daughter. Now I've got pix of 5 of my 19 first cousins in this collection.


Front: Willa, Annie, my grandmother Rose Fisher, Lisa, I'm pretty sure that's Lisa, anyway, she sure looks like Annie (Cousin #4/Annie's #2). Back: unknown, Annie's husband Stretch (Irving), Betti (Cousin #5/Annie's #1), Joe (Betti's husband), Sam, my father.
