NRY STATE "Always Serving You -- All Ways" Since 1906 Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Member Federal Reserve System Phone 385-1040 A Thanksgiving holiday tradition which had its start a half century ago in Chicago had its fiftieth observance in McHenry last Thursday. It was the Romano family reunion which began in 1914. Shortly after 12:30 on the holiday, a huge bus which had been chartered for the family drove up in front of the John Stangarone home, known as Fanstasy Farm, on the Crystal Lake blacktop. Out stepped more than sixty members of the clan -- Romanos, Stangarones, Lavarres, Detranas, Carranes and Salammes. The feast that followed took almost a week to prepare by Mrs. John Stangarone and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Grace Lee. Included were four 20-pound turkeys--80 pounds of meat in all- plus plates piled high with mashed potatoes, dressing, cranberry sauce, hundreds of rolls, eight pumpkin pies and four mince pies. All of this was in addition to plate after plate of hors d'oeuvres and shrimp cocktails. The many who made the trip by bus were joined in McHenry by other relatives who lived closer and made the trip by car. In all, there were seventy- seven family members-- forty-four adults and thirtythree children. This was the second year that the gathering was held in McHenry. Previously, all of the annual observances were with one of the family in the Chicago area. The tradition of Thanksgiving dinners together was started in 1914 by the late Frank Rcmano, grandfather of John Stangarone of McHenry. His eleven children evenlually married and moved away, but not far enough that ihoy could not return to keep the family custom of celebrating Thanksgiving together. The tradition they continued is still carried out by the grandchildren. Mrs. Mary Stangarone, 78, of 1539 Rosemont, oldest member of the eleven children continues to spend much of the summer season at her home in Emerald Park, where she first came as a child sixty-four years ago. Also visiting here each summer are all six of her brothers and sisters still living. They include the following with their wives and husbands: Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Vito, Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Carrane, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Romano, Mr. and • Mrs. Enrico Romano, Miss Rose Romano and Mrs. Joseph LaVarre. -- J-^er&onaid -- Mrs. Ann Rodenkirch spent, the holiday weekend with her daughter, Mrs. George Fitzgerald, and family in Maryerest, Kankakee. On Thanksgiving day the Hilary and George Rodenkirch families, George Steilen of McHenry and Elm^r Gorham of Woodstock joined the group for the traditional family dinner.
