(August 1, 2008) The Friday evening before the Fyock family reunion, it's been a Sharp tradition to visit with my dad's (and our) adopted family, Pat O'Leary and his family in Moxham. Dad worked for Pat's mother-in-law, Elizabeth Kukoly when he was a boy, and she "adopted" him as a son. They remained close, and she would become "Grandma K" to Karen and I when we were children. She always remembered us on Christmas and our birthdays. Birthday cards would always be signed "xxoo, Grandma K" and would include a stick of gum taped to the card.
When we visit the O'Leary's, we're always treated to lots of food and drinks. Of course there is plenty of good conversation and the yearly question from my dad to Pat: "How's Pitt going to be this year?" :o) If you didn't know any better, you would actually think we were related. It's nice to have an extended family and visiting with the O'Leary's is always a highlight of our trip to Johnstown.
