\"\" Of course, when you’ve been married 60 years, even your (professional procrastinator) youngest son doesn’t have the energy to create a commemorative Page like this in a couple of days (where are the grandkids when you need them?). So, please excuse a brief delay, before we add pictures of the marvelous Next Generation: the lovely and brilliant great-grand-daughters, Jordan and Addison Matthews. If you’ve scrolled down this far, however, you surely can agree that Arthur and Connie Giacalone have created a wonderful family with their love and hard work and caring. We all love them and cherish, and thank them beyond what we can say with words or pictures. Please click to see the accompanying post, “Happy 60th Anniversary to Mama and Papa Giacalone<\/a><\/strong>” (Sept. 13, 2007), which has a little prose and a batch of haiku and senryu.<\/p>\n
