In March 2014, I received the following:

I noticed some question marks for some of the first communion kids and I have a few of them. In the row with

Kevin Garabedian, the 4 unknowns after him are Brett Circe(also happened to live in that mystery house:)),

Louise Ciffizari(sp), Roger St. Armand and Chris Felton

Next to Timmy Burke is Scott Ferrera

Next to Joey McGrath is Clarissa Rideout

Next to Peter Briggs is Kenneth Kearnan

Sorry if these are all out of order by row, i am not looking at the picture.

Thanks for the history!

Cheryl Daudelin Carroll

The next day I received this

: I have one of the other people in this picture, in the 4th Row (in between EJ Paturzo

and Sheril Small) is Elizabeth Bean. Also, I noticed that "Fitzgerald" doesn't have a first name listed--it is Sean.

Thanks for sharing the memories--I have had this picture hanging in my house for years!

Amy Tattersall Sutton
