What a perfect day for a baptism, the event began at St. Albert the Great Church. Aunt Peg, Aunt Criss, and Aunt Louise were all in attendance as was James God Father PGK/PFN Kevin Ames. James’ God Mother (Cousin Renee) was in Iraq at the time and could not make it. Afterward we had a great party at house with the “little friends” downstairs watching the Lions football game (they lost) and most of the relatives and James upstairs in the living room. The event was 5 days before Halloween so there were lots of Halloween decorations in the house and we also had a Halloween Baptism cake along with the traditional white Baptism cake. Great day till the Lions lost.

Renee Baptism 1974
Renee’s Baptism came up and her mother Kathy asked me to fill in as a temp God Father because the actual God Father was not able to attend. I agreed to being the stand-in so long as the Baptism counted toward my going to church that weekend (I did not want God to get tired of me by going to Church too often).My sister Margaret was the God Mother and the entire Baptism was attended by the “Trenton Pinochle Club” as we liked to refer to them (Aunt Louise, Loretta (Mom), Peg, etc.). The two of us are seated in the back row in the picture.
The ceremony went off without a hitch, although I got called the wrong name several times but it was no biggy. At the time I was a teenager so I really didn’t care what they called me so long as it counted toward my going to Church for that week.
