 When Robbie and cousin Mike Dimatteo arranged to meet in Boston to watch Mike's old team BC Prep play Mike's dad's (Dr Peter on right) old school St Peter's Prep they ran into Peter's former Belmont Ave neighbor Bucky McConville in the stands.

Joseph Ilvento the 3rd took off for 4 months on the French Riviera just before the snows hit Ocean County where his home is.

Editor's note-

(Actually Robbie blocked this shot and played his heart out in his best game ever in a losing effort on his 18th birthday - It was the last game of his high school career and he dedicated it to his coach Mike Reilly)
