'bruno from Brooklyn' (gotta love it!!) ... just one question ... you moved from Brooklyn to Queens???? .. I thought the natural migration was from Brooklyn, over the V - N Bridge to Staten Island

Hi Tony, Yes it was Queens, then Huntinton, Long Island. In 1985 I moved to Central Florida. After moving in, I took some clothes to the local drycleaner. As the clerk started to write my name she asked, "Cintorino, that's IIItalial(with the big long I) isn't it". I replied yes. She returned with, "Well, we don't have many of those around here". I smiled and thought to myself, I hoped I moved into the right place.
The next day I told one of my N. Y. style jokes.
Weeeeeee, right over their heads. Ouch. OK,
Take care Tony, John C.

PS, Bruno is my little 14 pound dog.
