Aunt Terry, one of my moms (nonnie) favorite places to send me as a kid growing up. Aunt Terry and uncle bucks house in glenolden pa. Ooh the memories of the park catty corner to the house and all the parties and parades coordinated at the firehouse by both. Aunt Terry was a true horseman to our fine Aunt crew of herself, Aunt lube, Aunt caroline, Aunt Theresa, and of course my mother-aunt nonnie. They could of given motley crue a run for the money in there heyday. Cigarette on the lip and drink in hand. Those were the days. Found memories of her, her dogs ph and uncle buck of course. Definitely one of the more softer spoken gentler aunts like Aunt lube. God bless her.
