Word From Old Friends!
Tina Vazqueztell
Virginia DeCastro


This afternoon, quite by accident, I had a Facebook conversation with Tina Vazqueztell, who is Virginia DeCastro's sister. Tina just joined our Sachem Alumni Facebook Group. Needless to say I was thrilled to have Virginia materialize! Unfortunately Virginia is not a computer person; that might be why we never made contact with her.

I asked Tina to speak with her sister, and deliver Facebook messages to our group, on behalf of her sister. I will copy any Facebook messages and post them on our Blog.

Marian Stewart Eskijian

Hi Ben, ----------- It is always good to get your messages. I am not a computer person either. I can just do these easy e-mail messages and I am not a "Facebook" joiner. We are here in Missouri, and all is going well. I haven't gotten back to Long Island recently, but we do travel quite a bit. In July we will be in Scotland for my birthday to celebrate my "Stuart" heritage with clan plaid and all the frills !! It is great to hear from you and read about all the activities there. Best Wishes from the mid-west.

PS:
I will be XX in a few weeks. OMG!!!! Where have the years gone?? My kids are grown, married, and have families. My daughter is now a "grandma"!! I enjoy all the letters and it is good to hear from back home. Marian E.

Hello Tina,

I remember you so well from our classes at Sachem High, and our graduation together in 1963. We will always remember, with love, your dear Nick. He was our classmate, too.

Italian Mothers
Ben Vitale

If you are from Italian descent, the following videos will put a smile on your face. 50 years after High School, I now feel free to share some information with you that I dared not to do when I attended Sachem.


Old generation, Italian parents did not want their children to get married, before they are 4o years old. This is meant to make you smile! Every time I brought a young lady home to meet Mom, I would always hear the same question after they left; complete with Hand Gestures. "AaaaH whereDoUget that Butanna from." LOL. The word "Butanna," is an Italian word. If you do not know what it means, just type it into Google. Yes classmates! If I ever brought you home to meet Mamma, you were eventually called a "Butanna." Yes every female was called a Butanna! The female that I am currently married to was also called a "Butanna." LOL. There is one, and only one, exception; my mother loved Marietta Pascucci. Marietta was the only female in Ronkonkoma and Brooklyn, that was not called a Butanna, by my mother! LOL.

Doo Wop Music Trivia

From: Carol Hovelmann

I meant to send that Music Trivia email with a little note to say "hi" and that I thought it might be something fun to put on the blog. I wasn't sure how to do that, or whether or not I should, so I'm sending it to you to do with as you will.


Best regards,


Carol
