My Last Romeo Blog 12-14-16
This will be my last Romeo
Blog for a while. I have lost interest and it’s too much work. Maybe I'll post
a few times during the year for special occasions. Hope you all have enjoyed
some of my comments and thoughts but everything comes to an end. Leave some comments
to my email below if you wish.
I will still attend the
lunches but not write the blog. It takes several hours putting the blog together,
gathering the related info, remembering what everyone said, and making sure I
have all the related internet links correct for restaurants, pictures and emails.
Making sure I spell everyone’s name correctly and not leaving out anyone, God
forbid.
Last Romeo Blog 12-14-16
The Romeos had lunch a few
weeks back at Joseph's Trattoria in Haverhill. You can see the website and menu
at the web link below....
There were seven present
including Steve Winter, Joe Pignatiello. Joe Lapiana, Jim Terlizzi, Mark Ryan, Paul
Girard, and Ed DeShuytner.
You can see some photos at
the link below......
The conversation bounced
around and covered the usual topics sports, weather, and trips.
Later, Jim told us of the
passing of a fellow Romeo, Richard Costello. Richard was 83 and always read the
blog and sent me comments. He joined us a few times at Romeo lunches and most
recently in 2014 at a restaurant in Manchester by the Sea. We all raised
glasses and tossed him fair well.
First Romeo Blog 4-23-08
I have been attending Romeo
lunches for 13 years since retiring in 2003 and started writing the blog in
2008. One of my first blogs recalled lunch in 2008 at the Portugalia Restaurant
in Cambridge. This was chosen by our deceased member Joe Loduca. He always made
us laugh. You can see some photos of that lunch at the link below........
I took the train into Boston
from Wilmington to get my Charlie Card at downtown crossing and then the train
and bus over to the restaurant in Cambridge. There were eleven Romeos present.
See if you can name them all.
Happy trails until we meet again.
Comments always welcome.....
