Birth of Labasonian in Illinois

All routes of Labasonians in Illinois' this Saturday ended at the plush ranch home of Jun Ramirez in Roselle, Illinois. It was an informal, bring your very best, get-together.Jun & his wife Inday nee Villanueva,welcomed them while a retired colonel ( brother-in-law of Jun Ram ) was busy in the backyard roasting 4 large size chickens and the children were busy playing in the newly mowed big suburban lawn.
