Chuckie Beatrice retired!

Nice tribute from Melissa:

I have always been so proud of my father, but after attending his 2 retirement parties, I'm humbled by what my father has done in the retail logistics industry worldwide and what people had to say about him. People came from all over to bid him farewell. 

Congratulations Chucky (Jim). You deserve to relax. We look forward to spending more time with you.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all our Irish classmates!

If you can't get to Ireland for St. Patrick's Day, Boston may be your next best bet!

St. Patrick's Day falls on a Monday in 2014, and the city has festivities planned leading up to and during the holiday weekend. St. Patrick's Day draws more than 600,000 visitors to Boston--a city with a long-standing Irish tradition.

Boston held America's first St. Patrick's Day celebration in 1737, and the city still boasts one of the nation's largest St. Patrick's Day parades, plus more Irish pubs than any other place in the USA..

Good Friends, Good Food, Good Drinks at Vic & Angelo's Restaurant!

Hi Rose,

Wow!! our Winter has been so cold and long. You really are lucky to be in Florida. This is the longest Winter I can ever remember. 

Hopefully, if you come for Mother's Day our snow will be gone.  Again I will try to meet with you. Hope to see you soon.

Hugs, Donna

Great Shares from Janice Scandone "The Joys of Growing Up Italian"

Great Shares from Diane Screnci Beatrice from Long Boat Key!

Just received these photos from Diane this morning.  

Goes to show you, we don't have to be in Revere to get together! 

Joyce expressed it perfectly in a note below.  We are a special gang!  

Looking good everyone!  I see familiar faces like:  

Liane and her boyfriend, Kathy McLeavey, who is related to Carolyn McLeavey, Jeanine Levoy, Jackie Mastronardi, Meri Mastronardi, Ronnie Giberti, Joyce Giberti and her hubby, Dick Giberti and Rita and of course Diane and Chuckie!  I hope I got everyone.

Who do you see and remember?

Besties Forever!

Diane and Chuckie,

Thank you so much for last night.  It was wonderful!!!!   It was one of those evenings that are on my list of treasured moments. The food was fabulous and the spirit was loving.  I felt so rooted, so solid in dear memories and friendships.

Again thank you ... that’s all we have been talking about today.

Love,

Joyce and Dick

Kathy and Bill

A Valentine for my Forever Friends!

If I could create the perfect friends,
Ones of my own design,
Friends to be my companion,
Friends for a Valentine,

I’d build all with a giving heart
Filled with kindness, too,
Friends who’s also lots of fun,
But I've already got all of you!

On Valentine's Day, the day of affection,
I'm sending fond thoughts in your direction.
You're really special, my perfect friends;
Together, we are a perfect blend.

You give my life a special shine;
Will all of you be my best friend Valentine?

Valentine's Day was my Anniversary!
