Notes:

Buddy, as he was known, was hanging around with Norma and Owen French. Mary French was dating someone else at the time. WWII came along and Buddy went MIA. He came home and had wounds and malaria. Mary got a "dear john " letter from her sweetheart (Ralph DiSimone), they had planned on getting married. Buddy was there to console her. He called her up to go roller skating and said that he and Joe Pino will pick her up (from Winchester Street). So they went roller skating in E. Providence. She made it miserable for him. Left him at the gate to the house. Sometime later he called her and took her to the movies (Saratoga Trunk starring Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman) at the Majestic in downtown Providence. He called her more and more; they saw more movies; and he visited frequently at the French house. They courted over a year. Her father and mother didn't like his drinking and they told Mary to tell him they couldn't get married if he didn't stop. They sent her to visit her brother Stanley in Norfolk, VA for the summer. If Buddy didn't have a job by the end of the summer there would be no marriage. He got a job at American Screw near R.I. Hospital.

Buddy and Mary purchased the house on Vandewater Street (ca 1952) and his in-laws sold the house on Winchester and moved in to the downstairs apt. (As related to D.M. Caranci by Iola French, his aunt, in 2009)
