I recognized guys like Charlie and Eloy Mirailh, Porky, Fat Jack, Jimmy Riches, Jimmy Cassino, Jimmy Kennedy, John Devaney, to name a few. I also saw Stephen Whelan pictured in the back holding up his finger with the #1 sign! Great photo!

I have a 10 year old also and I have no clue what the heck is going on. Things are different today, back in the day homework was a review of what you learned in school. Today, it seems like they are learning as they do it. I thank God she knows what she is doing. We have a system she does the work her way, she has tried to show me how she does it but it is no use I don't get it! I do it my way she does it her way and if we get the same answer everyone is happy. I had a tutor come in before her state wide tests last year just to be certain she knew what she was doing. The woman was great, she would not take the money because all Sammi needed was reassurance! Go figure! I do not remember tutors back when I went to Holy Name. The nuns use to drill the crap into your head over and over again until you got it! Thankfully, my brother Frankie was a very bright student if I had a problem he would help me out! My only hope in the high school years is Alzheimers? I can relate to you! I have a 10 year old also and I have no clue what the heck is going on.
