Peter Palagi

While I'm at it, I meant to comment on the ice cream truck. Is it my imagination or am I correct in recalling that our late, sorely missed classmate, Denny O'Brien, drove one of those trucks ( not Palagi's) during the summer ? I have a recollection of talking with him in the truck while he was "on his route" somewhere in Darlington. His main complaint was not the kids or the stupid song that constantly played over and over, but the tons of change that he had to go home every night and count and roll before starting out the next day.

The picture of "Sully's Pub" may be more familiar to our generation if the earlier name of "The Hitching Post" was used. It was the bar and restaurant of my uncle, Joe McNally, across from Prospect Heights at the intersection of Prospect St. and Beverage Hill Ave. It was the site of the short lived career that my soon-to-be wife and I had as wait staff. ( Although she did continue as a waitress in Falmouth. ) The Hitching Post had great Italian food prepared by Mrs. Olobri whose son, Charley, starred in football at Tolman and later at Brown. A later chef whose "gravy " was too spicy for my taste was a veteran of WW II , but on the Italian side ! Great memories ! Thanks John.. 🤡

Directory info

Does anyone have a better email address for Frank Mooney than the one in the directory ?
I've sent an email to that address and it comes back "invalid recipient ".

SRA '60

Just wanted to update a few items after the very successful Zoom Reunion.
In necrology, it's "Ronald Fitzgerald ", not "Roland". 

And because she heard that Bill Farley had had a heart attack, my bride of 55 years, the former Jessica Farrell, had her own moderate heart attack 5 days after our reunion. She got two stents at Miriam Hospital and begins cardiac rehab tomorrow. 

I failed to mention that we have 3 adult children and 3 grandchildren. The two oldest kids are lawyers here in RI and the youngest is a stand-up comedian in Los Angeles. ( if you've seen the latest Progressive Ins. Ad with Flo and two others judging a hand competition, he's the male judge at the right end of the table.)

Ps to Jim Doan, the swim coach's name was something like Nick Rosario AND I also got a letter that year for swimming..........ok ok, it was a "minor" one but it still spelled "R"
