Joanne and "Fast Eddie" Viglucci, Harry Cooke, and Pat Viglucci (plays alto sax) (L-R) (Feb 10, 2007)
Harry had brought back many strings of Mardi Gras beads from New Orleans the previous year.
This evening, he and some helpers went around the restaurant passing out beads to the customers.
Harry also gave a 40th Anniversay (Endymion) Mardi Gras cup to Rich Downs and me.
Three months later, Rich was still using the plastic cup as a mute on his cornet.
