"Thanks Betty Its been a long time since I saw that picture. Les must be about sixteen, I'm ten which would make my mother about forty-five and the lawn chair is still out for the winter. Oh boy, how casual we all were then. Thanks so much."  ~ Betty Ann Veno Forrest

Two great photos of Benjamin (Barpie) Veno sitting in his yard. 

As a little girl, my dad used to have me sing to "Barpie" and I remember looking into his eyes and thinking how much his eyes were exactly like my dad's.  Barpie died when I was 5 years old, and I remember his eyes!  I was thrilled to see these photos of him.  ~ Betty M Veno Bennette
