Celebrating the heroes
“Seated at the piano at Christmastime during World War II is my grandmother, Mary Mairose of Cincinnati, Ohio,” says Diane Mairose Feeney of Greenwood, Indiana. “On the piano are portraits of the children who were serving our country, Nobert, Richard, Angela, Jack, Leo, and Frank. The other children, not pictured, were my father, Arthur, who ran the family grocery store, and Rosella, a nurse and a nun. My grandfather Frank Mairose’s picture is inset at the bottom.”
