Morning All -
Pretty day - as they say it's the quiet before the storm. Tomorrow's supposed to be another wash-out. Rain all day - close to 3". I better get my boat ready...
Terry - Al's grandmother's name was Connie (I think) but Connie Ascione wasn't related to them.
Just a quick type-by - have tons of work to do today.
Have a great day. Later (maybe)... -

Yes Connie Scolomiglio(spell) was his grandma and Chick from the candy store was his uncle.

Another great memory....going to Felix's on Sundays with
my mom and sisters....I guess we would go there alot in the
summer, we would take the bus and I always remember
hearing Jimmy Roselli music playing in the restaurant, to
this day whenever I hear that music I think of Felix's....
.I also remember it used to be so cold in there in the summer
and then we would walk outside and the heat would hit you...
(but back then the heat felt sooo good! LOL) and then
we would either shop a while or take the bus back home....
great memories....
