Ragusa's Root Beer, now first in sales in Massa- chusetts? I This morning back in the hotel, I was watching the morning show Yesterday,!' starring john Yacca Harrington and the Weather Girl Mal Fury, who assured us of good weather. She is usually right, for all of her information comes direct from the M.I.T. weather tower, where Edward Richard- son and his staff of experts: Alice Brindle, Sarkis Daglian, Judy Duffin, Susan Stec, Nancy Moccio, Richard Tate, and Larry Tregoning make daily reports. Here come the drill teams! I love to watch them. There are Marines Eddie McHugh, Douglas Fagin, Bob Burnett, Henry Connolly, Gerald Brooker, Steve Feeney, Robert Gallant, and George Stankus. They are being directed by their com- pany commander, joe Comfrey. The boys are not the only ones with a military career. In the Women's Army Corps we see Com- mander Nancy Lee, and Lts. Lorraine Landry and Roberta Klemiata, with their company of WACS: Mary Allen, Elaine Mahoney, Clair A,Hearn, Peggy A'Hearn, Barbara Mulcahy, janet O'Bre, Mary Critch, May Bigwood, Kathy Connolly, Ioan Chapin, Pat Walsh, Katherine Masselli, and jo- anne Kolacz. They make a fine appearance in the parade. Well, here we are at the Point, Everything seems so different. The Landing is now owned by a corporation made up of Rose Saia, jean Scappini, John Scatto, Francine Santella, and joe Smith. Quite a combination! There are also many new homes. That big red brick mansion belongs to William Higgins, who made his fortune selling white bucks in different colors. His next-door neighbor in the pink ranch is john O'Brien, D.M.D. He made false teeth for that famous French film star-ZA ZA Cjudy Doran. Her latest picture, co-starring Regina Olasz, Carol Erickson, and Valentin Korjagin, I War II Teenage Adult, has been nominated for an Academy Award. All of the teenagers are waiting to see Boston's coolest Disc-jockey, Big Daddy Stracuzii. He is passing out copies of the Bobby Thompson Cha Chez Cha, made famous by Sheila Reddington. His lavender Cadillac was donated by the DiPietro Company. On the corner is a group who do not seem inter- ested in the parade at all. Vinnie LaMarca, john Bostrom, Paul Buckley, and Mike Dagle appear absorbed in the green sheet Bobby Keeley has. Due to his knowledge of bookkeeping, he has made much profit. Others also have made out well in the business field. Richie Casper is president of the brokerage firm of Casper, Campbell, Chase, and Caterina. Also doing well in a very secure business are Chester O'Brien and Robert O'Gara as O'Brien and O'Gara, Undertakers, on Fourth Street. This year as always, there is an endless stream of politicians running for every office from that of mayor to sanitation inspector. This year's mayor- alty candidates include Steven Nawn, ,Iohn Mclnerny, Kevin Wheeler, joe Thompson, and Mary Pantages. Robert Prendergast and Robert McDonough are both running for City Auditor. They are riding with their wives and family,- both ladies from South Boston-,ludy Wool and Anna McGrath. Also in the political race are Paul Fucile, George Buhl, Steve Slicis, Dan Grealishm joe Gannon, john Bean, Paul Flaherty, and john Alaimo, who want to be representatives. Riding in a car owned by the Boston Globe is the editor- in-chief, Vincent Federico, and two of his leading columnists: Mike Daly of the sports department and Patricia Bruno, who writes advice to the love- lorn under the title Dear Adeline. In private life, Patricia is the wife of Robert McDonough, the famous Hollywood director. In the next car with their director, james Good- win, are riding ten of the world-famous Goodwin models: Marie McCarthy, Lillian Bill, Maureen Shultz, Marion Izbicki, Elaine Hurley, Ruth Bryant, Han Lopes, Marilyn Madden, and Ann Grealish. As you look at the many people you begin to wonder where they all find homes. After all, not everyone can live in South Boston. This problem has been partially solved by the Manning and Marks Realty Company, which is now selling lots on Carson Beach. All you have to do is to drain the land and build your home. Because some people, like Lorraine Mango and john Sulli- van, found this too much trouble, they built their home on poles. As you can well imagine, this has its disadvantages. jean Wright, Florence Wallace, and ,Iudy Vento also had a bright idea-a system for Ending seats in crowded subways, but, unfor- tunately, it didn't work. So much for the plans of mice and men! The parade is almost over. People are hurrying home, for wives must prepare the dinner for their tired husbands. Two of these busy housewives are Bev Turner and Louise McLauglin--Mrs. James Roberts and Mrs. John Micevick. Others like Pat McDougall, Lorraine Mazzeo, and Mary McGinn, remained single and are career girls in the business world. Pat and Mary are secretaries for the McDonough, Dunham Insurance Com- pany. Lorraine works for the Connolly Detective Agency of Boston. This evening Maureen and I are having dinner at the famous Nirobi Club, owned by Gerry Hanrahan. The food is prepared by the superlative chef Al Bernazzani, Appearing nightly are the popular singing star Kathleen Malone and Connie Cotter, the exotic dancer. And so our visit to South Boston comes to a close. I hope we can return in another twenty years for the St. Patricks Day Parade. On behalf of Maureen Taylor and myself, I wish to express appreciation to the citizens of South Boston, It has been a wonderful day,-one which we shall remember forever!
