Marie's Brother Hector

This is a picture of Marie's brother, Hector's family reunion at his son's Kenny's daughter's house. There are a variety of his children, grandchildren and a great grand in this picture. I don't know for sure, but there may be more than one great.
Hector was the sixth of thirteen children. He was born February 28, 1920. He lived in Fitchburg, Ma. all of his life. Hector was a type set printer/set up person for a local pharmaceutical plastic container manufacturer. He also had a home based printing business. He did business letter heads and business cards and at  Christmas time he would print Christmas cards for people. 
I found out something so fun about Hector that I had never heard before. He was a bit of a practical joker. Phyllis, his daughter, told me that during the Beatle craze, he cam home one day with some bottles with labels she was sure that he had printed. They said, "Beatle Breath." She said they thought they were something special They were so gullible and never for a moment thought he would tell them something that wasn't true. All the kids in the neighborhood had a jar and of course, they didn't dare open it as they then would lose their "Beatle Breath." How fun.

He also worked as a cook a couple of nights a week at the Rendezvous Restaurant In Fitchburg. As you can see the Aubin family members enjoyed being busy.
As expected he loved to cook. He made pear preserves from his parents' trees and grape jelly from their grape vines. Like my husband, Francis, Hector did the turkey at Thanksgiving time while the kids and wife did the baking.
He joined the Army and was sent to the Aleution Island in June of 1943. if 1943. On June 10th 1944 he married Elaine Gilbert. She passed away in October of 1969. He passed away on June 10th, 1989, It would have been he and his wife's 45th wedding anniversary if they had both lived.
I remember his brother,, Charlie saying that Hector kept trying to get him to join the Army too. Charlie said, "No way!"
