Aunt Olga was one of the sweetest, kindest, all be it firm when necessary, aunts we had. We always loved visiting the Zdarko’s on Timothy Avenue! I remember watching Moby Dick with all of them when it first came to TV! We always felt so welcomed and I have great memories of my times spent there and Aunt Olga was much of the reason why!
Love to all of you!
Thanks Lisa , I appreciate that , I do miss our visits to Edinboro also
