Below are photo of the December 22, 2014 wedding. John, the groom, is Joe's oldest great-nephew, son of Craig and Krista Pastrone.

Oxnard, California

Family members flew in from Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio. Many of us stayed at the Best Western, Mandalay Beach, in Oxnard. It is a beautiful hotel right on the beach.

Ojai, California

Old St. Thomas Aquanis Church, downtown Ojai. It is now a museum. Edward Drummond Libbey (the "father" of the glass industry in Toledo, Ohio) is a very important figure in Ojai. He promoted the mission revival style of architecture in many building that are still standing in Ojai.

Margie and I are at the Ojai Visitor's Center next to the museum.
