GARY BONIKOWSKI on Memorial Day in FAIRVIEW at UNCLE JOE and AUNT ROSALIE'S

I remember many a Memorial Day get together at Aunt Rosalie's and Uncle Joe's in Fairview. More often than not, it turned out to be a cold day, but we would have a great time in spite of the weather. We always had to bring the empty beer bottles back to Peoria because the neighbors would be shocked if you had beer bottles in your garbage. No one in Fairview drank alcohol - wink, wink.
