That has to be a relative of Larry Penardi in this bevy of daughters from the American-Italian community. I would guess that there will be a number of sons and daughters of Italia who are visitors to this site who will recognize many of the other names of the "Dragonette" ladies in the photo. Larry Penardi was very close to the DiNatale family. I remember Larry when I was a boy hanging around Rocky DiNatale's garage on Edwin Avenue in Hamilton. I would meet up with him again some 25 years later working together in our St. Anthony annual Spaghetti dinners. Larry was a class act.
Hi Tom: I knew the brothers of these girls very well. Pete Penardi, Ben Allegretti, the Gervasonis, Agabitis and the others. Many went to Hamilton School, located where Roma Savings and Loan is now located on Hamilton and Anderson. Regards, Ralph
