Sandra's Story
Married Paul Aloi in 1966...moved to Germany...we had a son (Mark). Returned to states in 68. We lived in Elmira for a few years as Paul was an insurance agent for Utica Mutual. We also had a daughter in 1970 (Deanna)...and became the typical 2 child family.
Paul was contacted by an old family friend regarding employment for the Gunlocke Company in Wayland, NY. We moved to Wayland and resided there until 1977 when we decided that we had had it with the NY winters and jumped at the chance to be transferred to Dallas, TX..(I was and still am a Dallas Cowboy fan)..
Paul's parents Evelyn and Peter soon followed us to Texas along with several family members. So, we were no longer alone.

assed away in 2006 due to heart failure. His parents are also deceased along with our son Mark. Losing a child (no matter the age) is something you just don't recover from. I will never be the same person I was before I lost my son, and live day to day loving my daughter and grandchildren with my whole heart and soul.
Though I do miss Elmira from time to time (mainly the old days), and of course my family, I could never adjust to living with the long winters again. So, I remain here, living in DeCordova Bend Estates near Granbury, Texas and hope to be here for many years to come!
I look forward to the October 2014 reunion and seeing lots of "old" friends.
Best to all of you and Happy New Year!
