Capilli's wedding.....class of 2011

Saturday, August 10 was a beautiful day....around 11:30 am Chris Jeznach and Lily Clark picked me up for NH.....190 north to route 2 was a great ride ....then we hit 495 which caused us to go about 10mph til we finally reached route 125 and the road to Hampstead, NH....upon reaching the church we ran into Steve and Tracy Rubin and three Fraternity brothers of Andy Capulli...a wedding for he and Val Cartier simple and interesting for at the exchasnge of vows and communion Andy and Val stood awaiting the priest to close the ceremony when Andy tried to get the attention of said priest and moved toward the alter and whispered to him ....the priest then nodded and facing the pews said "you may kiss the bride" whioh gave the audience a burst of laughter....the reception was held at Zorvino Vineyard.....upon entering the driveway one encountered a scene reminiscent of Grant Wood's American Gothic painting except Andy in tux and Val in bride's attire and he holding a hockey stick....tables were numbered by Bruin's hockey uniform numbers...we could not find our number but after searching we noticed two tables up on a loft area and sure enough our number was there as was another table which we later found out was for Harvard medical folk....a great meal followed by a great dj playing song after song with no break til the affair ended at 9pm...during the dancing Val's dad had everybody wearing facemasks of Val, Andy and Lucy, Andy's dog...what made the day extra special was the fact that Anday and Vall had all four sets of their grandparents there to celebrate with them....

To Tuna, For Tuna's Corner Blog

Yo...I received this note from Sean "Galls" Galligan, Class of 2013, and wanted to post. Good luck in Ohio Galls! "Had a really nice time going to see Mr. and Mrs. Cat this past weekend at their house in Plymouth. We had a great group of people make it down there for the day including Tuna, Tom Cuccinotta, PJ Moan, Kyle Powers, Nick Tosi, Tim Driscolll, Kat Kultzer, Suzie Najem and myself (bunch of ATO’s and Phi Sigs, what else is new). "It was a little cloudy, but nevertheless a great day to walk down to the beach and enjoy the ocean. Cuch, Powers and I played a game of touch football on the beach with some of Mrs. Cat’s friend’s kids. The teams were stacked in a way that all but guaranteed a victory for Cuch and myself. However, Tuna’s unorthodox scorekeeping methods made it a much closer game. After working up a sweat in the football game we plunged into the Atlantic and did some jumps off the rocks (per order of our new 10-year-old friends). "After drying off, it was back to Mrs. Cat’s house for a feast that could have fed your average Tuesday night crowd at the Tau House. There was burgers, dogs, sausage, fruit salad and a whole bunch of other stuff that Mr. and Mrs. Cat were nice enough to prepare for us. Don’t even get Tuna started about how much he liked the banana cream pie. Duncan, the house dog, knew to sit patiently by Tuna, expecting his clumsiness to drop half a hot dog or some of the sausage. "The pitch game was eventful as always, and even though Tuna forgot the trump suit once or twice he still managed to come away with a victory. "So, all in all it was a great time and really nice to see everyone who showed up. Now that college has ended for me I certainly don’t take for granted when I get to see such close friends from school and of course Mrs. Cat and Tuna. Hope to see you all again soon, and thanks for the endless memories."
