Oops! IS this a senior moment?
I had so many names rattling around in my head when I wrote about "Una Serata Italiana" that I forgot to mention Gloria Tripodi, who, as usual, was busy selling drawing tickets, and called Art Panepucci "Joe."
Classy couple that they are, I didn't hear from Art or his wife, Louise, my longtime friend.
