NEED TO ASK CHICKIE BAPPERTS (a.k.a. ROSE TOKAR) A QUESTION

[marie-elena (ferracano) r]

HAVE BEEN ON THE "PICTURE PAGE" RECENTLY. THERE IS A PHOTO ON PAGE 12, THAT YOU SUBMITTED. IT IS OF 4 KIDS STANDING TOGETHER & GOOFING OFF. THEIR NAMES ARE:
BUDDY KEANE, BOBBY GILVEY, MATTY MCQUILAN & A "MEATS. THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN LONG BEFORE I WAS BORN. I DO NOT KNOW 3 OF THE GUYS. BUT AM CURIOUS ABOUT "MEATS". I KNOW THAT MY GOFATHER "JUNIOR" ULYSSES, FROM MANSION STREET, WAS CALLED MEATS. SINCE HE & MY GODMOTHER (HIS SISTER ELAINE) HAVE BOTH PASSED AWAY. I HAVE NO ONE TO CONFIRM IF THAT IS HIM. I HAVE NO PHOTOS OF HIM, WHEN HE WAS A KID. MY GODPARENTS WERE GOOD FRIENDS OF MY MOM. IF THIS IS MY G/FATHER, ITS NICE TO SEE WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE AS A KID. CAN YOU PLEASE SEND ME A REPLY & LET ME KNOW, IF IT'S HIM. BUT THEN AGAIN HOW MANY "MEATS" COULD THERE HAVE BEEN? HIS ORIGINAL NICKNAME WAS "MEATBALL", BEING ONE OF THE 1ST ITALIAN KIDS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT AFTER A WHILE THE GUYS CUT IT DOWN TO "MEATS". MY BROTHERS WHO NOW ARE IN THEIR 60"S, STILL REFER TO HIM AS "MEATS". HE WAS LIKE A BIG BROTHER-PROTECTOR OF THEM WHEN THEY WERE KIDS. THAT'S
HOW MY MOM MET HIS FAMILY. THANKS SO MUCH. MARIE-ELENA
