Name: B. Conte
Comments: Hi Joe. I was surfing the internet looking for some information when your website name caught my attention. I used to have a good friend with the same name as you "Joe" Giuseppe Farace . He was the best man at my wedding in '84. We are from Toronto,Ontario in Canada . I know a few families with the Farace last name in this area. They all immigrated to Toronto in the '50s and '60s from a town called Roseto in the province of Foggia in Italy. I don't know where your ancestors are from or if you are related to any of these families. I browsed your photobook and would like to compliment you on a great family that you have. I seems very obvious that they all love you and you love them. Your website is a great idea. Keep up the good work. "Saluti" from Toronto

Comments: Hi there Mr. Farace. I am Henry Hermanns' daughter and have been to about three of the reunions with my mom, Rosalie, and my sister jennie. Her husband and son, Keenan, also made the Biloxi one with us. I'm sure you remember my wonderful dad, a member of your organization, who passed away 21 June 1997. We miss him so much and I'm glad mom and i have made some the reunions since then. We will be unable to see you all in Seattle, but will definitely try for 2002 in Texas. I got your website from the Gust of Wind and really enjoyed checking in to see it. The picture of the Memorial aboard the USS-Doyle really struck me because that was the one right after dad passed away and my mom was one of the people to throw over the wreath for the Korean War vets. It was a very special moment for us. Take care and thanks for the great site. I'll tell my mom to check in once her computer is back up and running. Sincerely, Kathleen

Comments: Grandpop, When I was a little girl you always found the time to play with me and take me fishing. Now I am all grown up and you still find the time to do things with me and take me fishing. I know that you have always been there for me. When I started college at Rutgers you and Grandmom didn't hesitate to invite me to stay with you, and I loved living with you. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for everything that you have done for me, and to let you know that you are one of the best friends anyone could have. You are also the best grandfather anyone could possible ask for. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPOP I love You. Love, Your Fishing Buddy P.S. When are you going to put the boat back in?

Comments: I was 9 or 10. I walked passed the one foot hedges that lead a path to my Aunt and Uncle's front door at the North Coles Aveune Farace Compound. There inside Uncle Joe was banging away at the organ keys and Aunt Dolores was whipping up some tasty treats in the kitchen yummie . After enduring an hour of Polka Music and other little musicial ditties, I was forced to watch the dreaded 8mm Home Movies not the 8mm you are thinking about in your camcorders, NO these were non-digital films, if you can believe that the films were on reels and each one would be like 5 minutes and there was like 10,000 of them. I went home that night and said to myself "God I hope I don't have to go through that again." Well needless to say there were and still are always new Tunes being played and more rolls of film on my next visits, and more anguish in my ten year old mind. But... 35 years later my memory of those times are not loathsome, but cherished I love you guys TT
