Pat Archer, owner of Ex- calibur, was there in a tux .. . after battling a hospital siege . . . I hadn't seen Joe and Angi Bartoletti in about 30 years . . . They have been married 33 years now . . . such a fine couple . . . and both look better today than they did back then . . . Joe presently owns All-State Con- struction Co. and is franchisor for the Father & Son Con- struction companies. Joe Weaver, TV 2, was master of ceremonies and joined in singing "Happy Bir- thday" as a cake was brought to Pat . . . Everyone signed a giant birthday card. Reno Garagiolo (Reno Con- struction) and Rose Ann Ma- ly (Lawyer's Title) co-chaired the very fine annual fun- draiser by Italian American Cultural Society at Excalibur on Franklin and Nor- thwestern . . . with 100 people turning out in a big tribute to Pat, who does so much for humanity. On the committee helping Reno and Rose Ann were Gus Russo, Doug Caravaggio, Pat Archer, John Zafferana, Ed Schribner, Tom Turner, Al Morrison, Frank Napoli and Ned Piccinini. Excalibur Executive Chef Marty Wilk was at his usual top form . . . with excellent waitress Nancy Scherer serv- ing his fine fare at our table. The affair also marked 30th anniversary of Italian Cultural Center, not just for Italian people, but all races, colors and creeds. John Cetrone and his trick- a-minute routines is back at Excalibur, behind the bar and helping on the floor . . . Robert Davis, who many folks remember from a number of fine niteries around town, is general manager . . . Sheila Mulholland is a fixture back of the bar . . . as folks like Nick Sorise, co-bossman at Nicky's; Tony Vitrene of Steve Petix Clothier; Antonio Foglia of Antonio's of Italy Hair Salon; Larry Warren, John Zafferana, Robert Guz- zardo, Doug Cavaggio, etc. strutted the long beautiful "X" bar area.

Was with three neighbors at the Kingpoint Country Club in Delray Beach, Fla. where Sol and wife Sadie divide the year bet- ween Farmington Hills .. .

Green Post and Auxiliary take more than just cases of fresh fruits, gifts, clothing, etc. . . . More importantly a lot of love and respect for the 600 patients there. It was Christmas day and hospital employees were off but the JWV guys 'n gals "filled in" as the patients were brought into the auditorium for entertain- ment, bingo, refreshments and gifts . . . plus volunteers going through the wards with large gift bags for each patient.
