Today is the 106th anniversary of my mother's birth. Josephine Molinaro Terico was born in Herkimer to immigrant parents. She went to Herkimer schools. As a young woman she walked from the family home on Mohawk St (where Denny's is now) to Durbees factory (the ARC building on E German St) every day, rain or shine. winter or summer. She married Tony Terico in 1948, had me in 1950 and kept sewing in dress factories until she retired in 1978. She died in 2013 3 months short of 100 years old. I still miss her today. There is so much I'd like to say to her, show her what I'm doing, ask her advise. Happy Birthday, Mom. I love you.
