Two of them, Marcella (Marcy) and Edgardo (Eddie), near Harvard Square a some years ago:

His real name is Edgardo, as in Donizetti's Lucia, and he was born in Milano near the shadow of il Teatro alla Scala. His web site is http:\\www.EddieDonovan.com

Marcy has no web site yet, but you might find her on ICQ if you are very lucky and I don't find you first. Just in case you want more, here they are again in Ireland.

 

 

 

Another daughter, Julie, at Harbor Beach (MI) last summer for her cousin's wedding.

 

No web site as yet. Here's her soul a few years back:

The Other Sons without visual assistence:

Number One Son, PierFranco, is a leading poet in Florence, Italy. Since he was born there in the shadow of the English Cemetary in Piazza degli Artisti, I guess that's OK. His web site is  http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Ithaca/3489/.

Number Two Son, Roberto Ettore, has heard the Sirens sing, and they sing of dollars, your dollars. He used to virtually run SureTrade. He has now passed to the opposition at ML and doesn't maintain a personal web site. Ettore is in memory of Ettore Bastianini, the Siena baritone who died two days before he was born. The news reached his mother and I in Detroit on his natal day. May this son bring as much pleasure to us Old Farts as did his namesake.

 

The Cats will know...

 

 

Oh well...

My father was 89 years old when I finally drove him to his grave. I am sure that my own offspring have much more ambitious plans for me. While you cannot yet contact my father via the Internet, given the current state of the technology, please visit the other Donovan sites.
