Luigi Fans!

Dear Editor:
I just wanted to say that Luigi’s article this past week in the Public Record was really nice. You made a summary of the Italian Heritage events at the Jul. 12 Phillies game sound really great to some people who were not there. My family and I have enjoyed your articles and the paper also. I know my Mom gets the paper regularly when she finds it. We usually get the paper at the Donatucci Library or P & S. Thank you for writing the articles and thanks for the continued publication of the paper.

Dear Editor:
I would just like to say to tell how excited I am each week when I read the tales of Luigi. I remember having a very similar vehicle back in the ‘80s myself and my kids wouldn’t believe the stories I told them or that anybody else would drive such a car. Now, thanks to Luigi’s tales, I can prove I’m not the only one who used to drive a small car around town. I love his stories. Keep up the good work.

Dear Editor:
We saw Luigi at the Phillies game the other week. We thought it was hilarious when the Phillie Phanatic tried to get inside his car! It was also great when the crowd started chanting Luigi’s name!!! Luigi should be at every Phillies home game!

Gardener’s Delight

Dear Editor:
I thoroughly enjoyed Maria Merlino's column about her long-awaited garden, in the Jul. 10 edition of the Public Record. I can understand her obsession and her total excitement about its first fruits. Yes, I know how great it is to eat food fresh from the garden, even though I didn't have a hand in it at all!

My husband and daughter and I just finished eating from the raspberry canes my father-in-law planted years ago. I know he's smiling down from heaven on us every time we emerge with red-stained fingers and big smiles on our faces. Gardening is indeed a pleasure.

Thank you, Ms. Merlino, for sharing your experience with us.

Southwark Deserves Civic

Dear Editor:
I am was very pleased to read about the new civic group in Southwark (Southwark Finds a Voice - Jul. 17). I believe that two civic organizations can only be for the betterment of the neighborhood. Why can’t they just work with each other? I will be at their next meeting. Thanks for the information.
