Charlie and Betsy have lived in Stow for 25 years. Charlie is a permanent deacon, ordained for service to the Boston Archdiocese (September 19, 1990) and is assigned to their home parish, St. Isidore in Stow. He has his own business creating and maintaining web sites.

Betsy teaches step and tone classes at the local gym and works with breast cancer patients, walking with them on the individual journeys. She enjoys her pool and gardening and the 3 grandchildren. They light up so many wonderful days.

Kristin is the mother of these three beauties, and she and Joseph are weathering parenthood very well. They live in Lancaster, MA about 12 miles away from Stow. Joseph is a Quality Assurance Engineer for Informix Software in Westboro. Kristin is into carpentry, plumbing, tiling, painting and all those other skills that are needed when you live in a 100 year old house with barn and pool. Kaitlin is very artistic and an excellent soccer player; Tyler is into facts and figures and likes baseball and wiffleball; Karissa is into everything (nickname: Mosquito).

Justin is 27. He graduated cum laude from Northeastern U. with a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1996 and worked for 4 years for a small energy consulting firm in Braintree. This July he gave notice and moved to Brooklyn to be with his girlfriend Nina, and to decide what he wants to be next.

Matthew is 23 and lives in Billerica, MA. He spent 4 years pursuing a Computer Science degree at Daniel Webster College in Nashua, where he also played basketball for two years. He finished there in 1999 and went to work for Charlie at Multi-Media Communications Internet Services, where he does web site design and programming, and is the security czar (the person who keeps all the hackers at bay).

Rebecca (Becca) is almost 16 and she is going into sophomore year at Hudson Catholic HS, following in the footsteps of her three siblings. She is active on the Volleyball team at school, and a host of other things outside school. She taught a 3rd grade religious ed class this past year, participated in a Shakespeare drama workshop at Wheelock College, babysits regularly and likes singing, dancing, going to the mall, and acting.
