His wife had told him what name to use, but somehow he forgot it on the way over. He sat down on a bench to rest and struck up a conversation with a man sitting beside him. He asked the stranger his name, and the man said "Alfredo." So nonno thought that was as good a name as any, and that's my father's name today. Named after some guy on a bench.<BR/><BR/>Hey, happy birthday, Ms B!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14773652.post-61821603669231845882007-11-08T19:54:00.000-05:002007-11-08T19:54:00.000-05:00Happy birthday, Bella!I was named after my grandmo...Happy birthday, Bella!<BR/><BR/>I was named after my grandmothers as well... and everyone and their brother has a dog named Katie!Katie Alenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17210222751354931694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14773652.post-69989515320961741622007-11-08T19:28:00.000-05:002007-11-08T19:28:00.000-05:00Happy Birthday.
