ROBERT DELGIORNO.....OUR SON...." BOBBY"

TALENT- TALENT......EVERYWHERE.....

Bobby, our son, is very much his Dad! Bobby's life has followed MC's more than one would imagine! Career wise, yes, but also in hobbies and interests.

For a number of years, Bobby was spending a lot of his spare time making models. I never knew the extent of his talent until recently.

1970 OLDS CUTLASS

On our 50th Wedding Anniversary he made a model of the car our family traveled in all over the country...........rarely for vacations .......mostly, to move from one Air Force Base to another. From Tacoma to Florida, and many other places in between, we "motored" in our 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass. Mom and Dad in the front and the three "Angels" and our Miniature Poodle, Sam, in the rear. These adorable "Angels" remember the voyages somewhat differently than we do!!!! They love to relate "stories", that while cruising at 70+ miles an hour on Interstate Highways, we never opened the windows because we didn't want the other cars and their riders to know we didn't have air conditioning!!!! In reality, if one thinks about it, we didn't open the windows to prevent them and their "toys" from blowing out of those windows!!!! The one truth we will admit to, apologize for, and regret...........is that Mom and Dad did smoke during these migrations. Remember, it was in the 1970's and smoking was considered OK!!!!! Enough said!

Getting back on track.....Bobby has sent me pictures of his collection of models. I am amazed at the detail of each piece! This is one talent I would never have the patience for. Again, he takes after MC in that department!!!!
