Guess lots of things are catching my attention this morn; have to
respond..

TERRY, I knew the Cusumano's (and I've know you 50+ years and
didn't know you knew them).

The Cusumano's I knew (not sure of the spelling) - Joe and his
younger sister Francine (she was younger than us). We all became
very good friends, I met them working at AT&T in early 70's.
Joe was very light-skinned, fair. Francine pretty; think another
sibling.

Do you think it's the same family?


Be back shortly to finish reading.....

Lots of "past" in my face this morning.



WELCOME to Maryann and Keith!

I JUST READ FACEBOOK AND DID NOT REALIZE THAT JEANNE OLIVA GAETA HAS BEEN GONE ONE YEAR JULY 17TH.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN TO ONE OF OUR OTHER ANGELS. WE MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU.

SHE WAS A WONDERFUL GIRL, ALWAYS PLEASANT AND ALWAYS HAD A SMILE ON HER FACE. WE MISS U JEANNE. LOVE TERRY

Morning.....lousy morning. It's friggin pouring and I'm going to see Nickelback outside tonight. They say it's going to rain all day....great!!
The damn coffee pot wouldn't work, something's wrong with the plug, but by the grace of God it perked!!! I had a leak under my kitchen sink but I think I fixed it.....I hope. Now I feel like I'm getting sick and I have a proceduce Monday......what a shitty morning!!!!

Hi MARYANN - Did you know Anthony Brantaforte (16th St, below 4th)? He was a cutie. Probably would be about 58 years old now. Had
a younger sister and mom (no dad).

We knew Larry Arena, Carol Miele and I hung out with them (Chucky
DeVito) for awhile. Probably mid 60's. PATSY, I always thought he
looked like your cousin Neil Pisani (Pat's hubby).

I probably introduced you to him... Think he was also a distant
family member (mine, not yours for a change). No, he is not
your cousin.

Terry.....I hope April get's good news.

Jim....hope papa in law is doing good.

Judy.....how's mom?

Patsy....Happy Anniversary to mom. No matter how long they are gone it's never easy.

Sorry to dump on you guys this morning....I know you all have more important things to worry about.

Judy.....I sent you a message.

Morning All -
Judy - glad to hear mom is better!
Patsy - happy bd to Mom in heaven.
Jim - hope dad-in-law is ok - did you find a caretaker for him?
Franny - how are you? how's FL??
Terry - how's April?
Keith - if you check in later here's the answer to your question - what happened to Michael Kelleher - Mike died a number of years back. An unfortunate series of events in his life led him to an early death. (I think of him often). The Lockwoods are still around - I haven't seen Paul in a very long time and once in a while I bunk into Gerard.
Debbie - enjoy Nickleback (they're one of my favorite groups) - hopefully the rain'll stop and things will dry out by tonight.
Well, it's time to make the donuts!! Check back later (hopefully!) Have a good day all!
