Great Shares from Joanne Struz McCarthy


Hi Rose,

I wish all my July birthday classmates a very happy birthday and a year of good health, much wealth, and complete joy!

When I saw the list of names and saw Barbie Lagorio’s name, I recalled an interesting tid-bit that my mom told me many long years ago.

Barbie and I were born a day apart at the Revere Memorial Hospital. She was born on July 22 and I was born on July 23. Shhh, don’t tell, but she’s older than me! We were “nursery mates” and our moms were room mates. Talk about knowing someone for a long time! (LOL)

Extra special wishes to you for a Happy Birthday, Barbie!

Joanne

  1. Joanne,

    What a great story! Thanks for sharing! Barbie was on our list for a long time then all of a sudden her email was being bounced back to me.

    Does anyone know her correct email address, as perhaps she changed providers.

    Hugs, Rose

  2. Oh, wow, talking of beeing class mates you two were "room mates", I guess she would be your oldest friend.
    What I remember most about Barbra was her great sence of humor. She was always in a good mood and ready for a good laugh....
    I too love to read the list each month and have it spark memories of a particular person or event.

    Yes I did see Joanne’s comment, how’s a girl to know! I had no idea!

    Thanks for doing all the work to keep us all informed.

    Have a nice summer! Barbie

    Really enjoyed the story, Joanne. You both have such great senses of humor. I remember Barbara always making jokes. You were maybe in the nursery making each other laugh.
