So many great memories spending every Sunday at NRSA as a kid. Then watching my siblings when the soccer crew went to Chinatown. Thank you! Alicia Pade (Ossman)

My parents were very close to Mr. and Mrs Nardi. My dad belonged to the Italian American Club and they enjoyed many functions at the club. Expecially the New Year Eve dances. I remember, and we have video of Mr and Mrs Nardi dancing at my wedding where we had our reception at the club.
Midget Football was also big, going to the games where Little Elvio, and my brother played football, and dad was treasurer.
God bless, I know you are all reunited and have a lot to catch up on.
