Windber Miners Day Festival
The Miners’ Memorial Weekend is an annual event to honor the coal miners who died in the mines. The event attracts many visitors from around Southwestern PA and beyond. Events include a parade, antique car show, motorcycle show, street dances each night featuring area bands, food and craft vendors, children’s activities area and petting zoo.I decided that this event would be a great way for me to sell the ALS t-shirts and raise money for ALS. I had my daughter call the committee that organizes the event and reserve a booth so we could sell the shirts. My whole family helped me prepare for the event. Sarah, my granddaughter made a sign; Sandro, my son-in-law got two tables from my sister Millie; my wife, Joyce organized the shirts; and I scheduled friends and family to work the booth with me.
My wife and I joined the local ALS support group at the John Murtha pain center in Richland, We do enjoy the wonderful people that we met there.

Our Town article on ALSLife Inc.
I would just like to give everyone an update that this past week a reporter from Our Town newspaper came to interview me at my home. His name was Chad Mearns. He was very inquisitive about our association and asked alot of great questions about ALS.
We discussed the main points that we wanted to include in the article to raise awareness for ALS and some of our goals as a non-profit/non-stock organization.
The story is going to be in Our Town newspaper the week of June 30, 2010. Pick up a copy and read about what we are doing to help people diagnosed with ALS. I will link a copy of the article once it is released! I hope you all are having a great week!

Celebrating Christmas 09
What is new in my life since i put BIO on the first writing about my life. My wife and I had the priviagle of hosting 25 people (brothers and sisters and my family) to our traditional Chrismas Eve dinner. My sisteer started having every one at her house and it has continued wth our taking turns. Since my mother passed away ( she always did the dinner with all family members) it seems that we do not get to see each other as much as we used to and this way we keep in touch with everyone. It is a meatless dinner. Different kinds of fish and other ethnic foods were prepared.
My older sister does bring my mothers’ favorite dishes. It was so much fun. My granddaughter plays the violin and my grandson plays the guitar with my son in law playing the keyboard. We sang Christmas songs(a little out of tune for this gang) but we had fun.
