Hey Jim,
Seems like our family here on earth is getting smaller and smaller.  Our Mom, your Aunt Virginia has joined Dad, your Uncle Bernie in her heavenly home, and I'm hoping all of you are reminiscing about your earthly lives together.  Since your brother Don passed, I'm in contact only with Dennis.  I don't hear from the other cousins, but we certainly had fun growing up together.  Wishing Easter blessings to us surviving Hall/McGrath cousins.  Wishing your family Easter blessings, too.
Cathy Hall Martino

The photo I'm posting is of the Hall cousins (minus the latter ones) from the Jesse Hall and Ruth Weld Hall lineage at their camp in Pleasant Lake.  I think it was taken in the late 50's.  I remember spending time during the summer with Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Milton at their Schoharie country home.  We certainly had some fun back then swimming in the pond and exploring all the acreage around their property.  I'm sorry I lost touch with my cousins over the years but had a lovely phone conversation reminiscing with Jim a few years ago and had a chance to see him again at one of his parents' funerals.   Jim is in the upper left corner and I'm sitting to his left between my sister Lynn and Bill.  I hope you'll enjoy it.  If you'd like further id's on the group, don't hesitate to be in touch with me.  I wish you comfort and peace as you grieve your loss, and happiness with treasured memories.  Sincerely and with love, cousin Cathy Hall Martino and Aunt Virginia.

James McGrath was the greatest great grandpa ever. He would call me every Saturday and sometimes on Sunday too. It made me fill up with joy when he called to check up on me. He was the best ever. I miss him and his phone calls.
