Family celebrating Rose “Buczi’s” 85th birthday at Point Breeze Restaurant in Webster. (as her late husband watches down from heaven) To a woman who contin- ues to have brunch for 20+ family members every Sunday. She not only raised eight of her own children but tremendously helped with eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. All while remaining the most selfless person we know and the hub of this family. We wish her many more years of health and happiness. We hope she loved today just as much as we love her! (And she did!)

It is dedicated to all those who have attained heaven. This year’s Mass was organized by Ms. Kelly Bailey’s and Mrs. Danielle Favata’s fifth grade classes. In preparation for the Mass, the students researched their saints and Kids’ leadership event prepared presentations for their classmates. During Mass, they brought their saints to life by dressing up and sharing stories about their lives, what they were the saint of, and their feast day. It was a very educational experience for the students, their classmates, and those who attended the Mass. takes over town hall BY GUS STEEVES TIMES CORRESPONDENT WEBSTER – It’s not often you see town hall open on a Saturday, but it was last weekend.

Last Sunday, local veterans, their families, Bartlett band members and others commemorated that anniversary and those who fought and died in that “War to End all Wars” and others since then.

Friends congratulate Parade Marshal Ronald J “Cowboy” Gryb (US Army 1959-62) as the parade starts at Dudley Town Hall.

A Cub Scout carries a flag at least twice his height. Anthony White holds the flag close during ceremonies in Webster.

Leonard Gevry and Joe Sendrowski lay a wreath at Webster’s new Merchant Marine monument. A couple of Bartlett band members have an intimate moment before the parade begins. Do You Remember Webster from Many Years Ago?

Ronald Gryb (right) gets a plaque commemorating his appointment as parade marshal from Victor Jankowski.
