Hello Diane:
It's interesting to read your note. I lived in Davenport, my parents were owners of the Hotel D'Italia - my name Thelma Micossi Gill. I don't think I know you; however your note is so interesting as well as we realize what a small world this is.
I was in your cousin Bill Wilson's class, went all through school with him. We began in first grade at Pacific School in Davenport up to the 8th grade and then we were bused to Santa Cruz. In fact, I remember playing with Billy on Blackburn Street where the grandparents lived. I remember and knew Gene Terini and Irene quite well. they lived in a beautiful place at Swanton. I haven't talked to Bill in several years and would like to know if he's still in Atlanta.
Your note was great -
fondly, Thelma Micossi Gill
Thanks Thelma and Diane for your comments. Perhaps You and Diane will get to meet each other at the ReUnion. I'm sure you will have a lot to talk about.
If you two don't recognize each other contact the "Old Rancere" (the guy in the hat and 'shavola". He will point you in the right direction.

Thank you Ivan I'll yell for you!!!! I think my cousin Steve Terrini might come with me to the reunion that will be fun for him to meet people from Davenport.

The first Reunion did include lots of the ranchers. I know that the Bruno Rodonis, the Pianavillas, the Andriottis, the Marchis, and on and on attended the first one...though most were residents of Davenport/New Town...they were also ranchers of the North Coast. I was there with my folks....it was lots of fun.
Don't worry, Ivano....the history is well documented and will continue to be so......also while new history is being made.
