Many family members decended upon Alden and Laurie's house in Colorado
to celebrate Margherita's 97th birthday in September 2012.
The Brusicks and Colorado Fidaos – and one from NM.
From left to right, Margherita Fidao (wife of Maxime
Charles Fidao who died in 2003),
Wendy Fidao, Philippe Brusick, Catherine
Brusick, Laurie Fidao, Alden Fidao.
The night before Elena's wedding
to Marcello in Milano, the Brusicks and Fidaos
met for dinner. For Wendy
and Philippe, this was only their second meeting since they
first met
in Bornova in 1964 (at ages 21 and 18!). For every one else this was
a first
time meeting and it couldn't have been more enjoyable.

Two Wendys
Here is the American Wendy (left) with the British
Wendy (right) in front of the
Crane Neck house. (Apparently they both
like striped turtlenecks.) In May 2005,
Wendy from London brought her
partner Simon to New York City for his birthday.
They paid a visit to
Wendy on Long Island where she lives on Crane Neck Point
with a view
of Long Island Sound. Wendy and Simon roamed the beach and
collected
horseshoe crab molts to take home. Horseshoe crabs are descended
from
trilobites and exist on the east coast of the United States and in Japan.
