Sam Iaquinta introduced me to May and Robert shortly after they opened the restaurant. May and I started teasing each other from day one to the extent she hired me as her lawyer. That relationship turned into a friendship for decades that I cherished. May I said " you do not tip your lawyer' She insisted and I blushed. Miss you May

We met May shortly after her arrival to Kenosha. A pleasant person and a great addition to the city. Ran a good business with husband Bob and later the children.
