Notes:
1. Your Gram got married to your grandfather, Howard, an unbelievably handsome man as you well know, they actually got married from Zia Beuna's and Uncle Bill Giadone's house. The reason for this was that my Nonno, Adolfo, (your Gram's father), thought your Gram was too young to get married and wanted her to wait a bit. Being as strong willed as we know she was, she decided to marry anyway against his wishes. Since she couldn't marry from her father's house, she got married from Zia Beuna's house. Nonno (Adolfo) forbade anyone from the family to go. Uncle Rudy went anyway and got quite a beating when he got home. (L)

He was faithfully cared for by Mrs. Curtis and Max and Mrs. brother Harold Langevin who came from Florida to be with Mrs. Curtis and help care for Roger. The last weeks he lived they were assisted by a nurse. Mr. Curtis passed away at his home in the early morning of December 19.

Commencing next week, Lloyd Bliss is to be editor and publisher of The Journal. To the majority of you my successor needs no introduction, but to assure that the fourth chief of this enterprize and institution is not unknown to any reader, a brief commentary upon him is very much in order. Happily, this stems entirely from personal acquantanceship, without benefit of query or note. Lloyd, unlike me or my two notable predecessors, is a native of Stanstead and apart from his years of active service has lived in your midst all his life. He was brought up upon the soil of this County; thus, his roots could not be deeper here. He has an ambition to be master of his own destiny, and this urge has led him to the editor's chair of The Stanstead Journal. All I can say is that with your loyal support, such as I have been priveleged to enjoy and which I bespeak for him, he will mighty soon learn.

Notes:
1. "From Ottawa or Washington this international community is something that can not possibly exist officially. But it does still exist at the community and personal level. Our fire departments […] stand ready at all times to assist one another. Our churches and service clubs see no border when someone is in need. We all have friends and relatives on both sides of the border and few of us ever think of the other as a Vermonter or a Quebecer. This is as it should be, and how it can be if we can keep the bureaucrats out of our lives."
--Lloyd Bliss, Editor, The Stanstead Journal, 1977
