To begin with … a sad good by to another familiar face. You might say a Forest Park tradition. Theresa Giglio, secretary at Grant White since time began. Loved by all, will be missed by every one. Theresa knows every kid in the school she knows how to handle every situation, where to put every piece of paper, lost mitten, you name it, Theresa knows what to do about it Theresa has led a charmed life in many ways. At a Juice Bar, many years ago when Theresa was 16 years old, the pretty young miss was feeling ill and exhausted after a week of school and working at a bank. She went to lie down on a cot at the “bar” and a handsome young man (Frank Giglio) came up and asked if he could take her home. Her friends assured her he was a respectable fellow and so off they went together. They have been together ever since. Their children (all grown up now) are Frank, Rosie and Tony. Here’s a wish for a “Rosie” future to all the Giglios.

You see them here; you see them there. You seem to see them everywhere. You know who I mean: Rich Scafidi and his faithful companion Sean, the beautiful Larbradoodle wheeling and running about all over. Well, Rich also has a lovely wife, Anne. Anne and Rich Scafidi celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary May 26th. Dinner at Francesca’s with a doggie bag for Sean. Congratulations to a remarkable couple.
