Mack, Was Thomas the father of Angelo who owned LaGondola. Roe and I were friends with Angelo and his wife Linda. Ate at the restaurant many times. Really nice people. I remember his father being in the restaurant a lot.

Joe Z...I will always remember the Clams Casino at LaGondola. Best anywhere. My husband and I would walk there for dinner, from our house on Hewitt St, on especially nice summer nights.

As of end of 2003, this property was still owned by Joseph Peluso, I believe he is one of the sons.

Barb: Nice to hear from you again. We loved the mussells marinara and the shrimp scampi. I knew Angelo had a brother who worked in the restaurant, believe his name was Mario. Then Jerry was one of the bartenders. Have a nice week, talk later.

Hi Joe Z...I've been away for a few days, haven't been able to Blog. Missed your face, and your cute Magnum PI shirt. Hi to Rosemary. I'm counting down to the book release, can't wait.

Barb, glad you like the shirt, hope you had a great time away and hope it was for fun. Book is scheduled for August. I'm working on book 2 now. Will say hi to Roe.
