A Photo “REBUTTAL”

to cousin John Patti’s claim….

Ever since John decided to “set the record straight”

and proceeded to list all his athletic accomplishments, I decided to look back into

my photo archives to prove his declarations were valid.

Unfortunately…I couldn’t!What I found was the

athleticism of the rest of the family!

Here, the LoBello’s show off their FOOTBALL and GYMNASTIC’s

talents!

The Geraci’s demonstrate their excellent CYCLING

abilities.

And here we see John…hanging out…with a

TANQUERY and TONIC!

The next few slides illustrate the LoBello’s exceptional

DRIVING skills!

And where is cousin John….hanging out with Terri…

trying to look COOL!

Next we can see cousins Russ and Fran’s CARD PLAYING

aptitude.

The family collecting the equipment used for the

traditional sport of CACUZZA BASEBALL

…and John?…doing his best SERPICO impression!

Cousin Anne shows the boys the correct BOWLING form.

…and Coach Tommy gives cousin Peter some advice

before his at-bat.

Where is John??? On his way to a DOORS Tribute Band

Concert!!!

I found plenty of pictures of the Family enjoying AMERICA’S PASTIME…

..and John, here you are again, drinking CHAMPAIGN …

where’s the BASKETBALL???

We even see Aunt Teresa riding a MOTORCYCLE!!

…and Uncle Tony demonstrating the correct

JAVELIN technique!!

…I even found Pete taking some SLAPSHOTS on John in

the street!!

…and where is John?...hanging out in Sicily, with your VILLAGE PEOPLE MOUSTACHE!

The family is so well rounded…EQUESTRIAN ‘s….

…POLE VAULTING…

…SOCCER…(this actually may involve something else,

but I’m trying to keep the slideshow heterosexual!)

…PASTA EATING…

…just wanted to throw this one in!!!

Here is the ONLY activity I’ve seen you participate in, John…

POKER!!!

BOTTOM LINE…John, I haven’t seen even a

HINT of Demonstrated Athletic Ability from you in the past 44

years!!!It’s time for you to

FESS UP or give us PROOF!!!Thank you…Cousin Russ
