This photograph above was taken around 1965, my Aunt Mary at left, and my mother with my dog "Teddy" being held by my father, Harry Limes, at our home around Christmas time - 208 Arizona Avenue, Lorain, Ohio. Our home was torn down in 2004 for the Harborwalk Development. My mother, Virginia Zagorsky Limes died on February 3, 1995 and my father, Harry Limes, died on March 22, 1988
This photograph above was taken around 1965 at my Aunt Mary's house on the corner of West 30th Street and Reid Avenue in Lorain, Ohio. My mother, Virginia Zagorsky Limes, was seated far left, then me (Linda), next to me is my father, Harry Limes, and seated far right was Aunt Mary's son and my cousin, John (Johnny) Stitak (May 6, 1941 - March 7, 2002). I think we all looked great in good old black and white!
This photograph above was taken on June 15, 2002 on the occasion of the wedding of my Aunt's Mary's grandson, Jason Stitak to Carol Langer. I am kneeling next to her. Aunt Mary was about a month shy of turning 90.
There has been some controversy over the years if my Aunt Mary was born on August 14 or August 15, however, my mother and my Aunt Irene both have insisted that their sister's birthday was August 14, so I have always considered her birthday to be August 14. She was baptized on September 1, 1912 at St. Stanislaus Church in Lorain, Ohio.
