Loved them even more than the chocolate pinwheels, don't know if they were made by Nabisco, but haven't seen them in about 50 years.

Riel. These are all in good to excellent condition. A few of them are of a family groups and others of individuals. Of particular interest is the picture of Anton C. Novak, Jr. and his wife Anna (Pelekovsky) Novak at the time of their 25th wedding anniversary in 1906 when Anton was an alderman in the City of Chicago.<br />On a different subject, but related is that my grandfather and father owned and operated Excel Photo Service in Chicago (and later in Brookfield) from the 1919 to mid 1960's. This was a photofinishing and retail store business. George J.

I live in Salt Lake City and am very excited to attend Rootstech this year. Henry Louise Gates Jr. is the main reason I am interested in attending. I appreciate you for sharing the information on the guide to Rootstech. I admit, it is overwhelming to know where to start and this has been the reason I haven't attended in past years. I don't think I will go all out and attend every day, but know I do want to hear Mr. Gates. <br />Best regards,<br />Wendy Fausett Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8083165316546520942.post-43532540253998237652017-11-14T15:36:51.933-07:002017-11-14T15:36:51.933-07:00Thank you Michelle I look forward to seeing you th...Thank you Michelle I look forward to seeing you there.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08294141770148560409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8083165316546520942.post-18128706694036039422017-02-16T15:14:18.470-07:002017-02-16T15:14:18.470-07:00Russ, It was my pleasure!Russ, It was my pleasure!Michelle Goodrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427355155193196767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8083165316546520942.post-86050415508400603732017-02-16T14:59:10.301-07:002017-02-16T14:59:10.301-07:00Michelle,

I remember having a blast with her, my poodle Peppy and I would take turns catching the ball. Unfortunately, I got home from school one day after a Christmas party Mom had thrown for her night nurses and she no longer worked. The nurses would bring their kids who were not yet in school. But we did have a good year together.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8083165316546520942.post-2901942480292214182016-09-16T18:13:55.940-07:002016-09-16T18:13:55.940-07:00Yea!

They were DARK chocolate ( both the wafer and the coating) And the chocolate coating was hard and popped when you bit into it. I miss that cookie.
