They definitely are look-alikes, and Zinnia, although a girl, is the spitting image of Ian as a child! We should preserve our special planet for our wonderful children and make time with them, even if you have to nap together. Family time is very special to Ian and his family. - Annemarie Howes

"This has to be my favorite picture of me and my Baba," said Charlene Tsionis Deftos, who submitted this photo of her and dad Leonidas Tsionis. Their hometown is Peabody.
He is my ultimate hero. I have always looked up to him, and he was always there for me. I am who I am because of him. I always admired his strength, his work ethic and his love for his family. I know he continues to watch over me even though he is gone. Both my parents were born in Peabody in the 20s, both were taken back to Kalamata, Greece, and both returned in 1946 on the boat that Truman sent to Europe to bring the US citizens back after the war. They both had relatives in Peabody and settled here. Dad worked at AC Lawrence for almost 20 years before it closed and my mother worked at JB Thomas. - Charlene Tsionis Deftos
