Dinner was served! I think the photo should have been taken sideways to fit better. Got that-Dad [he was the photographer.]

Anyway, left to right:

  • Secondo Faro was a close friend of Delfino Gaido and Erminia Ferrero Gaido and Secondo married Erminia after Delfino died in 1946;

  • Then my grandmother Emilia and grandfather Felice (hiding behind the wine bottle);

  • Aunt Betty Ferrero Borella;

  • Henry Jr in front of mom Gladys Saunderson Ferrero;

  • Erminia (my grandfather's sister), Phil Gaido, [Erminia and Delfino's son & Tessie's brother].

My brother and I grew up assuming that Secondo Faro and Erminia were not a couple and that Faro [as we called him] was a family friend from Italy. It was brought to my attention in September of 2025 that they wed sometime after Delfino died on February 15th, 1946.

Erminia Ferrero Gaido Faro and Secondo moved back to Giaveno and Secondo died in 1970 and Erminia in 1972. The Faro family was fairly large. You can see the Giaveno cemetery plot where my grandfather's sister is buried: Faro Family Memorial; Names on grave
