What linked me to one non-relation Marilyn F. Ruggieri ( read obituary ) : We both graduated from R-I-J-E-C-T ( now CCRI ) on June 6 , 1977

I did not know this Marilyn F. Ruggieri . But just today I was trying to find the graduating list for June of 1977 for Community College of Rhode Island . At first I was frustrated reviewing the June Archive of the 1977 Providence Journal. I had forgotten that back then the school was called " Rhode Island Junior College " ( snobs pronounced RIJC " R-E-J-E-C-T " ). Finally ,only going by a truncated list ( there is a charge for seeing the full article found in the PROJO archives.= ) I spotted " Ronald Ruggieri " which was just below the name of another Associate of Arts graduate : Marilyn F. Ruggieri . A curious coincidence , I thought : " Let me see if Marilyn is still around today " . So I GOOGLED her full name . The first hit : OBITUARY ! Our paths did cross once. REST IN PEACE Marilyn F. Ruggieri. [ "A graduate of Rhode Island Community College, Marilyn earned her Associate Degree. She belonged to St. Peter's Church in Warwick for many years. She took great pride tending to her home and family throughout her life, and will be missed by all whose lives she blessed.
