THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 1, 2023 Page 17 Malden Police Commissioner (Sal) “Butchie” Gennetti. One of the more popular Maldonians, Butch told me that best he can recall, he’s been to 85 Festas, the exact number of years he has been on Mother Earth. Butchie remembers his father bringing him to the Feast as a baby. His dad had a stand that sold Lamb Tips on a skewer at fi ve for 25 cents! Butchie became addicted to lamb at a very early age. Thank you, Butch, for everything you do for the city that loves you so much. • I just love the photos that accompany this article! The future of San Rock, the 2023 “Cannoli Girls!” Left to right: Rylee Walker (Medford High on her way to Endicott College), Gianna Spadafora (Malden Catholic on her way to the University of Tampa), Carmella Spadafora (Mystic Valley Charter School on her way to Malden Catholic) and Kaylee Sullivan (Malden Catholic on her way to Bentley University and the apple of her father Neil’s eye!). • It was an unrelenting mass of humanity for three days in August! I saw...Warren Lynch at the Feast, as well as Craig Spadafora (not together of course — insert smiley face). The class of 1973 MHS was represented by Jackie Gerrin, Joe Levine, Ronny Drinkwater, Tommy Stein and Mike Clapp. Jackie Bouley and Douglas Tran from All Seasons’ Table were making merry till closing time. And Shawn Brickman and his son Earl Barter never miss a Feast. As Peter Falk’s iconic TV char~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ acter Columbo would say, “Just one more thing, sir” — San Rock 2023 is in the books! Once again, we gathered on freshly weed-whacked, pothole-free Pearl Street (thank you, Mr. Mayor) to celebrate the best three days of the year in Malden: Saint Rocco Feast weekend. Marvelous weather welcomed pilgrims from far and wide to enjoy this spectacular weekend of music, food and friendship. Once again, thank you, Billy Settemio — from the Italian American Citizens’ Club — and San Rock Committee Chairperson Joyce Mover (and her trusty second in command, Anthony Spadafora) for making the weekend a smashing success. The I.A.C.C. and its members generously donated their time, money and resources to make it yet anothINSPECTIONAL SERVICES 215 Pleasant Street, Room 330 Malden, Massachusetts 02148 (781) 397-7000 ext. 2044 er San Rock that we’ll never forget, and Joyce donated her blood, sweat and tears as she does every year to ensure that this lifeline to our past survives another year. Postscript 1: For I and many other Edgeworthians, it is the continuity of the San Rock Festa that is buried deep in our hearts. The way we can set our inner clock to the Feast, that second weekend in August, every year. That “organic connection to the heart and mind” that those of us who grew up in Edgeworth and Ward 2 all feel. If the good Lord’s willin’ and the creek don’t rise, see you all next year on Pearl Street. Postscript 2: I am still in shock at the news that Nick Gizzi’s mom, Pearl Street’s Judy Busconi, passed away shortly after the Festa. Details to follow.
