Chief Larry and I interviewed Barbara Sopato a couple months ago and in that Podcast she discussed losing and finding her jewelry box (click here.)
In today’s podcast, Barbara follows-up on that story and discusses how she managed to lose and find her Mom’s ring a second time.
Barbara and her friend Emily:
When I asked Barbara about a photo of her Mom, she informed me of the following:
I’m looking for a pic of her, but here’s an interesting addition to that story—when I first got here to SMC, she told me that her great grandparents started their American lives here in SMC from Eastern Europe. She didn’t know much, except she remembered they were buried on a road called Three Notch Road (did I know that road, she asked?) 😳
I laughed and said that was similar to asking someone from Chicago “do you know my cousin who lives in Chicago?”
Despite that, here comes some more magic: I found their grave—they are resting in the small cemetery across from St James Deli, right here in South County! Cue the music: It’s a Small World…🎶
Music 9/11 follow-up – after passing along the Alan Jackson tune in yesterday’s Buzzyblog post, a couple folks mentioned to me the South Park parody of it. I confess that I was unaware of it as I only recently started watching South Park. Here then is South Park’s send up, literally, of Alan’s tune:
Did you know that the South Park folks recently changed their name to South America? I think that it is a joke; but these days, one can never be sure about what is fact or what is fiction.
