Once Upon A Time In BELLE VERNON, PENNSYLVANIA

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
Eighty or ninety 
years ago,
101 Belle Vernon belles
received their 
first kiss 
on
this wooden bridge 
from an Oliverio
 
It was either 
Sam, Tony, or Paul
being
my father,
my Uncle Tony
or
my namesake
!!!
 
Uncle Tony's widow
is my 98-year-old Aunt
and I telephone her
weekly
BUT
will not say anything
to her 
about 
this page
because
no woman 
wants to know
about her husband
kissing someone else  
!!!

    It is no secret that "Belle Vernon" translates to
    "Beautiful Green Valley."
