Stopping with a friend for a view of Narragansett Pier in the Ocean Stat...

No doubt today , a lovely warm clear sky June 1st , many people living in Rhode Island will be attracted to scenic Narragansett Pier . Memories of many happy summer days spent there with my family . A sad memory of Grandma's Ruggieri's ailing and depressed brother, Carmine who drowned himself out here back in 1963 . Mr. Napolitano was the owner of a successful ( for a while ) pizzeria out here. Last year I finally located his grave site at St. Ann's Catholic Cemetery in Cranston. At the famous arching stone " castle " there was the " Ruggieri Family Re-union " here in the year 2000.. It was organized by my deceased brother Rick and cousin Nicky . Ron Ruggieri

The Brothers Ruggieri visit Oakland Beach on a cloudy afternoon. With lunch at nearby Iggy's
