Zambenini Family Reunion---Christmas 2001

Jim and Sheila Hosted Our Family Get-to-gether in Santa Rosa California


Bob, Jim and Sheila, John Robert, Joyce, Audrey, Pam and John. Our first get-to-gether in some time. Jim and Sheila hosted us in their recently remodeled home. John and family flew out from Dayton OH and spent a couple of days in San Francisco before joining us.

Joyce has another puzzle to work down the road if Bob drives carefully and a prized family photo.


Sheila and Audrey had carefully planned, and kept Jim's gift of a laser mitre saw camoflouged as a gift to Audrey, so it would be a big surprise to Jim.



Sheila did a fantastic job with all our meals and hosting us. At right, Sheila takes a well deserved break after Christmas dinner!!
