Macones we've Heard From:

Michael Macone writes:

I talked to Peter on Saturday and on Thursday. I will go to his house on that day to meet his family and then I will drive down with him on Saturday AM. I will drop off the rental on the way through back at the airport.

I am planning on cooking Tri-trips and chicken on Sun. Will need what the head count is so I can plan.

Talk to you later.

Thanks for the invitation … I enjoyed the card because I can see my grandfather in the back row with the moustache. He was custodian for the two elementary schools in West Concord for 33 years. My mother and aunt Mary and Grandmother are in the photo. I have two pictures of the Macone family. By the looks in them it was a death because everyone is in black. If you have any other pictures I would like some copies. We do have a cousin in Gaeta from the Macone family, her name is Evelin Matastasio … my daughter and family went to Italy and visited her.

Be sure to let me know how it goes and maybe a picture or two. Some one from the Macone family was doing research at the LDS library in Salt Lake City one time and called me but I can't remember who it was

Chief of the M'quid!

Sorry about the late reply. Was away for the weekend and I had a network glitch with this aging computer here at home. All fixed. I think. I told my brother about the gathering but he is getting old too, so he will forget like me....

Now I can't find my sister Janet's address. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. And mine is wasted.

I see that the gathering is a two day event. Is one day better than the other? Sounds like a philosophical question.... my daughter said she thinks she inadvertently deleted a message a couple of day ago from the answering machine and she thinks it was "Sandy" Y'all are the sole Sandy that I know so give me a call if this didn't answer the questions.

Janet Macone writes:

Hi Sandy:

So nice to hear from you! I will definitely go to your website (which I have seen before and am VERY impressed with your work!!!). Thank you for thinking of me and I look forward to seeing everyone!

Thank you also for taking the time to see my Dad and check in with him! He always tells me about your visits or calls – you are very thoughtful!

Thank you!
Janet

History of the Macone Family Reunion idea

Two years ago Duzzy (John Macone’s son) traveled to Los Angles for business. While there he had dinner with his cousins: Kristen, Michael, Scott and Kelly. They had such a good time together that Michael decided to take his family east for a visit.

Shortly after he arrived, Duzzy came down from Maine with Cousin John Bott (Marianna). Peter showed up from Vermont and Sandy’s brother, John C. and Cousin Doug came for dinner. A John Macone family reunion was underway.

Nell (Mike’s wife) and Sam (Sandy’s wife) watched the cousins from the kitchen window. Their enjoyment of each other’s company was obvious. Even though it had been many years since they had been together their shared history drew them closer.

The following spring Kimberly (Sandy’s daughter) passed. She loved being a Macone and stayed in touch with many family members, making personal visits often. She also loved birthdays… especially her own. Each year she declared October “Birthday Month” and big parties were planned. Summer Street in Acton was the scene of many of these stellar occasions.

Last October 7^th we chose to continue this tradition in honor of her passing the previous May. Friends of hers from all over New England gathered to share memories. Everyone commented that it was the best party they’d ever attended.

With memories of the last reunion and Kim’s birthday party last year echoing in our heads, we decided to celebrate October 7^th with a big family reunion. We hope you’ll be able to attend this weekend but if not, let us know what you and your family are doing so we can post it at the reunion. Send pictures, too! Maybe we can do it again soon. At least we can keep in touch through the Internet.
