BALSAMO

I may have these pictures all wrong, so I hope my siblings can correct me if I am off base. But in the early 1970s my parents, especially my mother, became friends with a local handiman, mostly plumbing but I think he did it all, and they turned to him at times to help fix things. He may also have been a contractor, and possibly even helped rebuild the living room and parent's bedroom to the cottage we called out home on Lake Keystone. I am guessing here. The two pictures that follow were taken in out family room, with our kitchen as backdrop.

Nicholas Balsamo (holding the gimcrack in his hand) and his family, I think.

Nick, with Sam the cat and Tidbit the dog. My mother is sitting in the kitchen behind him.
