LINDA TIEZZI WALDERA on AUNT HAZEL

I remember being at one of Aunt Hazel's homes, I think before she had Lynn and Gigi. She and Uncle Gene had a beagle dog named Mike. Mike had a terrible habit of digging holes in the front yard and proceeded to do so one Sunday afternoon when the family was there for one of its many gatherings. When I told Uncle Gene what Mike was doing I thought he was going murder that dog. I hope Mike learned a lesson that day. I also remember my dad talking about all the different hair colors that Aunt Hazel experimented with. I know he just couldn't get over how she changed colors so often. I, of course, thought it was so cool and thought she always looked "modern". Thank you Aunt Hazel. You were a great role model and not just because of your hair. The fact that you rose to a managerial position in Caterpillar meant a lot as we young Tiezzi girls were growing up. It showed us that we could aspire to great things.
