Tough intro huh?

First, Happy Easter everyone.?

Ok, it was 1966 I think, we had a fire at 126 Ridge and were happily invited to move in with Aunt Millie for the duration of the renovation.

Easter at Millie’s, Sally and Jacque we’re also living there. Jacque, fill in if you were not about kindergarten age, memory is spotty. Anyway, Easter morning my brother and I came down to see a huge Easter basket(Jacque’s).?It was monstrous. In our awestruck speechlessness we got busted by our mom. She was so embarrassed, as guests,??by our reaction to Jacque’s basket that mom?immediately ordered Randy and I to take our wonderful Easter goodies to the migrant workers living on the mushroom farm campus. All we succeeded in doing for them was rudely awaking these young men, living in barracks far from their loved ones on Easter, hoping to get some well deserved extra sleep. After waking them coming out their door seeing two quaking kids wanting to honor mom’s orders to share, we dropped our baskets and ran. I’ve no idea what they thought. This episode in our young lives may or may not explain certain relationships I and possibly Randy have towards family, religion, immigrants and who I see myself today. Sally, Jacque I’m not sure if you were even aware of this episode in our lives, but rest assured, it was just one day. We were kids. We accepted, adapted and knew family and love are all important. Still, at that moment when those young men came busting out of their dorm yelling in?Spanish was a pants wetting moment.?

Back down memory lane: Linda, do you remember coming to our house with Tippi and Joanie to play with Sally and me after a big storm had uprooted a huge weeping willow tree on our property? ?That tree afforded us all manner of little make believe dramas with cubby holes to hide in and roots structures to make an impressive throne. ?Joannie was the oldest, and she played the queen—very effectively as I remember. ?But that is all I remember—little bits and snippets.

No Palms on my door as in days of yore. Today and Easter Sunday next week bring back many wonderful memories. You wore last Easter’s hat and clothes to church on Palm Sunday and on Easter Sunday all new bonnets, spring coats, and new shoes. In the dining room was a huge Kennett Kandy Kitchen, milk chocolate egg stuffed with their finest candy. Sunday dinner was ham, I guess, but Angie's homemade pasta was always the biggest hit. Family came to visit and talk - no phones to look at and at one point in my life, no phone at all.

In contrast, today I went to a supermarket at 7 a..m., wearing a mask, sunglasses, and latex gloves. So covered up, I couldn’t read my list. Then after coming home, spent the next hour disinfecting what I bought. Filled a sudsy sink with apples, oranges and lemons; even carrots! Wiped off with Clorox/water everything else I bought, touched in the car and outside the car, door knobs, etc. Dr. Fauci, the country’s primary doctor, says it works and do it.

But in the?township?of?Kennett?there is an intersection called??Rosedale. The Ruggieri ancestors in the Leo (Aunt Angie was a Leo) family and the Fragale (Aunt Angie’s mother was a Fragale) family were all from and lived around Rosedale and in?Kennett?Township. Your Grandfather Archie would walk the railroad tracks from Kennett Square all the way out to Rosedale to see Angie – his soon to be wife (so the story goes).Also, Archie would say that if you think those Leos are nuts – you should meet and know the Fragales – they are not only crazy but also nuts. Leos don’t have anything on the Fragales. Both those two families still have many decedents living in the Kennett Area. So if you start to wonder about some family member’s behavior – remember the apple don’t fall to far from the tree. Regards, ?

The Inquirer article (linked below in case you didn’t read it) came to me out here in flyover country via an old friend and shirttail cousin, John Gatti, who is now living in?Cuenca,?Ecuador. Does that make you feel under a spotlight? I had a couple of thoughts reading the piece. Having left my home town close to 50 years ago with many memories, both positive and not so positive, I was trying to recall the boundaries of?Kennett?Township. Then I read the name of the Supervisor. Why did the idea of a Scudder Stevens from Waspville strike me as somethings don’t change. Further on the article mentioned Leon Spencer. I’ve got to ask, was he right that a board of supervisors from KT are all Democrats? How is that possible? And most importantly, when I read that?Leon?was a former mayor, the first thought was wow, good for him. However, my hazy memory is not helping me to recall why I instantly recalled his name but not why he is familiar to me. He was a few years ahead of me in school, but that’s all I remember. Is there anyone in this group that can jog my brain to clear up this personal mystery?
