Recently in conversation with some friends the topic of Kennett Square came up. One item was the ubiquitous mushroom fly. Has modern mushroom growing technology had an impact on reducing their population? I’m curious, whenever I am about to have red wine I prefer to drink it in a short glass as opposed to a stemmed glass. Of course, if I’m out at some fancy restaurant I will bend to a stemmed glass. But for most consumption it’s the short one. Is that just me? Could I have been indoctrinated by my Italian American early influences? What’s your preference? My local library has a device that permits me to transfer the 8mm rolls of film to digital. Somehow I inherited almost 30 tapes that run about 3 minutes with no sound. The few tapes I’ve run are very degraded to the point of hurting my eyes watching. These films are in the postage boxes they came back to dad after processing. The screenshots I took on my computer I’m adding below has a postage meter date of June 25, 1954 with handwriting on it saying Bob Blake’s wedding. Anyone know who he was? If the date stamp was close to the wedding date, at 2 months, where the hell was I? Steve Ruggieri 414-630-2558 Steve Ruggieri 414-630-2558

I'm not one to brag about my granddaughter, but I did find this hilarious. This kind of belly laugh, I'm told, is prevalent when the 12 month old is way overdue for a nap. If only I could be in that good a mood when in need of a nap... Steve Ruggieri414-630-2558

It may have been Sally that asked for pictures of babies. That's not usually how I roll. I am attaching a picture of Eloise at almost 5 months wearing a sweater that Addie had given to Pam because I used to wear it. I guess even I can see the value in hoarding. Steve Ruggieri414-630-2558

Last Sunday I volunteered to help out an old friend who's an antique car collector that has put on a show for many years. This year there were over 150 vehicles. I saw one that brought back a vague memory of Sally having a Karman Gia. The one attached below is a 1963. The other vague memory is even more uncertain. Did Dino have a Woody at some point? If any of you are interested in these relics from the past I've got more pictures. Let me know and I'll get in touch. Thanks. Steve Ruggieri414-630-2558

My wife Fig saw this on her calendar and I wanted to share this fun fact. Since he played for the Yankees, is this why some of our family were/are yankee fans? Love Randy

I’m told I’m no longer a curmudgeon-in-training. If so, I’ll take this healthy looking specimen found in my yard as my mentor. Steve Ruggieri 414-630-2558

Pam & I are proud grandparents to Eloise, Carly & Brendan’s daughter, born yesterday, April 10th. Both mom and baby are doing great! Steve Ruggieri 414-630-2558

Every time I each cherries I think of Tommy and Skipper eating them by the basketful up in their office behind Aunt Millie’s house. And they always tried to get me to pull their finger…like I’d fall for that again! Lol Randy

Hey everyone, I had a bunch of my dad’s old slides digitized and found a lot of pictures of little Ruggieri cousins and their parents. You might enjoy taking a look at the Drop Box link, which will available for about three more weeks I think. I don’t know if Mike Ruggieri is on laFamiglia, but if not, could someone forward him this email? There’s a lot of cute Mike, Steve, Debbie, Becky, Mark, and Laura pics before I was born! Here’s the link to the originals: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/yd9a3baoo2z50qvpw8am9/h?dl=0&rlkey=sdyvipy8wgwa8ztf736sn13c8 And here’s a sample of a few of my favorites: Fay Wheeler Sunshine fay.wheeler@... 703-609-2248 (cell) 8002 Georgetown Pike Mclean, VA 22102
