This is Ronnie the night of his 17th birthday. After the party he shaved off his beard. This is the new and improved, clean Ronnie.
Ronnie's 17th birthday back in 1978 in his backyard at 339 VanName Ave. Gerri to the left... then Denise Lange... Kevin Keegan... Gary O'conner... Laura Maloney (black hair & Silvestri's jacket)... Nancy Dorans... Mike Mohin
Mike Mohin... Gary O'conner... Jeff Perosi... who has just flicked his bottle top at someone. Remember flicking those tops like bullets? I could never do that! And that looks like my brother Joey Mondello's arm sitting down behind Gary. Oh... and of course... the Miller nip on the cooler.
That's Joey Marsh handing me... Tommy Mondello a Miller nip. The guy in the yellow shirt behind Joey has that Kenny Doherty hairdo... but I'm not sure. Me and Joey were definitely the "Goat's" of the night. You see... we were given the task of keeping Ronnie busy during the day so the rest of the guys could setup the party. Well... we took that job a little too seriously... as we decided to buy many six packs of Heineken beer and drive around Staten Island all day. Ronnie ended up puking his guts out in the front of P.S.22 school. Then pretty much passed out as we drove up to the house. The guys weren't too happy with us! They threw ice cubes at us both the rest of the night to show their disgust... hahahaha. Man... weren't we just 17? Who said that you have to be 21 to drink!!!
That's bearded Ronnie blowing out the candles. Doesn't he look like Cary Gradante from this angle? Top left is Laura Maloney... Joey Marsh... Greg Percoco... The back of Mike McAvoy's head left... Cindy... and Susan Trippe. Christ... doesn't this feel like it happened last week??
