Sentimental Sunday: The Rosarian Club

My parents met when they were both members of the Rosarian Club, a group for young adults at Holy Rosary Parish in Houston, Texas, that was formed about 1949-1950.  The group held numerous social events, and took trips to places such as Galveston, Kemah, and the Dixie Dude Ranch.

They also performed skits.  In the photo at left is my mother, Geraldine Margaret Guokas Pape (in the center), with a couple of her lifelong friends: (Anna) Frances Hubley Grembowiec (my confirmation sponsor),  on the left, and Norine Moreland Valicek (my sister's godmother), on the right.  This photo was probably taken in 1953 or 1954.
