Re: Frank's Bar
开云体育Yes the building has been torn down and yes the drunks had to be careful not to “stumble” out the front door only to be run over. When they would hang out over that front rail on that porch, they could almost touch the vehicles going by. And of course, no red light in Toughkenomon then. FYI, it was a rough bar but Frank, because of his easy going personality had some trouble but when Frankie got to running it and was drinking a bottle of whiskey a day(old grand-dad I believe), it got a little more troublesome. One day, while old Frank was waiting a table, the nasty customer put a knife into his belly causing 40 stitches to be used to sew Uncle Frank back up. He did not realize that he had been cut until “Capra” his bartender, tenant and friend; saw the blood coming through Frank’s white apron. But old Frank could fight because as a young man it was reported that he had done a little boxing. I can still see him walking up that steep hill to see his sister Aunt Millie. He was distant from the rest of the Ruggieri clan and some thought it was because of his wife Mary. She was from West Chester. But there are many on this chat line that knows more about that deal than I do. Somebody else chime in. ? From: lafamigliaruggieri@... [mailto:lafamigliaruggieri@...]

开云体育Dad took us to visit and know aunt Millie and aunt Ronnie, I heard stories of uncle Raymond by not of Ferdinando. Is he the one who stayed in Italy? Did Ferdinando have a nick name?

Love it, Sally. Especially the Italian names. I always thought Raymond was Raimondo or Ramondo. Grazie.
