Dear Family and Friends

What a Roller-coaster (Big-Dipper) ride this year has been.

You can see last years Xmas photos at Pam & Dave’s and the New Year party.

High point of the year was going to the USA in August to be with Fedele and family for Antonietta’s 50^th birthday but then leaving Paul in the USA to study for a year at Carroll College.

Low point was Phil (my best mate) had a heart attack.

Antonietta’s forced change in career continues to give her great satisfaction teaching ICT to the disabled students.

Mark, (the oldest), completed FE college and has decided to progress his initial idea of becoming a Chef.

Paul, (the youngest), had a great year (Read Paul-2005 page).  He completed his first year at Aberystwyth “The University of Wales” and was one of 2 to get an exchange placement in the USA for his second year.

John still works for the Gas and Electricity Company. He has started to change his lifestyle and goes walking regularly to counteract the stresses of work.

As we look forward to (2006) we would like to wish you all a Happy New Year.

To all of you “Merry Christmas for 2005 and a Happy 2006”

Love and Best Wishes from

Antonietta, John, Mark and Paul.
