Family,
This blog has not seen many posts over the past few years. I was recently looking through some Bencriscutto archives and thought it might be time to change that.
In our current social and cultural climate there seems to be a drift away from the importance of the family. Hopefully we can avoid that by knowing, appreciating and keeping alive our family's history.
Above is a picture of the Bencriscutto nuclear family taken at the Spinning Wheel Restaurant in Racine, Wisconsin on the 50th wedding anniversary celebration of Nana and Nonno.
Pictured with them are from left to right (top): Santo, Louis, Irene, Fred, Mike, Toni, Frank and Vince. The bottom row: Esther, Nana, Nonno and Rose.
Many sacrifices were made by Nana and Nonno so their ten children could take advantage of the opportunities this country provided to those who worked hard and committed themselves to success.
Clearly, the Bencriscutto children validated their parents' commitment to our family by their success and prosperity in America.
Remember and respect the commitment and success of the Bencriscuttos who have gone before us and know that 'family does matter'.
Fred Bencriscutto Jr.
Thank you, Fred, for posting this...I know most people these days keep in touch via Facebook, this Bencriscutto Family Directory exists because your father started it and passed the torch to me, and other members of our family, like you, who keep that spirit alive.
