FAMILY SECTION

Wedding of the Century - This was the uniting of the LiPani Familia and the Sample Clan on October 4th, 2002.  It was a night none of the 220 guest's will ever forget.  Gap Mangione and his 14 piece orchestra were fantastic and everyone left with sore feet from dancing the night away.

Did you say LiPani?  As in LiPani Bakery?  Yes and Yes! - This is the famous local bakery started by Mary Ann's great grandfather Frank LiPani.  Her father George LiPani married Mary Staccone and they had 6 children...Cathy Scibilia, Jean LiPani, Linda Hintenach, Mary Ann Sample and The Twins, Walter LiPani and Wendy Scorsone.  I'm using married names because I think we all know their maiden names!  After being threatened by Mary Ann's family, including forcefully by her 92 year old uncle John LaPani, Marty seems to have passed the test and is now considered an honorary Italian.  This could all end abruptly should he ever eat bottled sauce again.  Ciao Bella!

What about Children? - Well we're glad you asked because we do have a child and her name is Traci.  Although she walks around on 4 feet, she will be the first to stand up and tell you that our lives revolve around her!  She spends every day glued to Mary Ann's side at the office, so she can give her opinion when key decisions have to be made.  She hopes to attend Canine Polytechnic University soon so she can eventually take over the family business.  We'll let you know if there are any additions to the family!
