Rose Martino
(Message from Meri)
Dear Rose (Franciosa) Sisti,
It is so exciting. . . I love when things like this happen.
I'm in a little shop here in Lynnfield, madly looking for a formal dress, and I hear a voice saying, questioningly, "Merilyn. . .? Well, when I looked to the person who had spoken, the owner of the boutique, in fact, although she looked vaguely familiar, I couldn't quite place her.
After we chatted a bit, I realized she is our classmate, Rose Martino! Do you remember her? I do. . .
Seems that she is back in this area after many years, has a second husband, has lived in various places all over the country, etc., etc., . . . and it was so much fun to see her again and reminisce. I invited her to stop by the Continental tomorrow and she said she would try to. . . but would you kindly send her some info re the Lantern and welcome her "home"?
Meri,
I always get excited to hear that we found another classmate. I hope you provided her with the Lantern's email address because without her email address, I can't contact her. I do hope she stops by the Continental tomorrow to see the gang. Get me more information please. Did both of you exchange telephone numbers?
Well, Rose Martino, if you are online and if Meri provided you with the Lantern's Blog address, we are thrilled to have you on board with us and we want to hear what has Rose Martino been doing since 1962? We are all looking forward to hearing back from you.
Just received another email from Meri to explain all the emails I have been receiving that no one can find "Rose Martino" in our yearbook but we do have a Mary Martino and here is a copy of Meri's response:
Hi Rose,
I'm looking at the yearbook and I see Mary Martino, but not Rose. . . and the reason is that Rose moved. After attending the Shurtleff and Lincoln Schools, she did go to the high school but only for two years. She left after sophomore year and went to East Boston High, so that's why she's not in our yearbook. I thought I was losing it, because I did remember her but couldn't figure out why she wasn't in the Lantern. Anyway, I'm glad I met her again.
Well, we still Welcome Rose Martino to our group! And, hope to hear from you soon.
Hugs, Rose (Franciosa) Sisti
Meri found another classmate....come see who it is.

WhooHoooo, Meri emailed back again and provided me with Rose Martino's email address and phone number.
ReplyDeleteSo, We can all officially welcome her aboard now.
Hugs,Rose
Just a quick welcome to Rose Martino, It will be nice to hear all she has been up to all these years. It is always difficult to have to change school, it is just real nice that she can get back with a lot of old friends from Revere again. And Meri, let me tell you, really do look a lot like you did in high school ,just keep roaming around the stores and maybe you can find more class mates for us.....LOL Good work Merisubar
