Scope and Contents: 1985 housewarming party at Del and Faith's new house Notes on original housing: "Family rituals with the Herizon family, including home movies and cake. As Herizon members aged, a number were able to purchase their own homes in the Binghamton community, and events were often celebrated with decorated cakes. "Home Sweet Home" cake with picture of two brides on the cake and a house pictured by the river was a faux wedding cake for a celebration of Herizon couple buying a house together in 1985."
