Hi, Ed, I just read about the man complaining about the $2 admission to the Italian Festival. What’s the matter with these people who always find something to complain about? It’s his option to stay home. Don’t they realize that thousands of us find pleasure and feel it is so worthwhile being there? I’d like to extend my thanks to the special people who run these events, whether it’s a trip to Atlantic City or a gigantic thing like the fest.

Thankful

I once found pleasure in a special friend named, err, nevermind. I’m sure Italian-American Festival organizers are appreciative of your kind words.— Ed. Note
