On January 3rd I received the following message from Marsha (Clinard) Boast which included the four photos below. ChuckR:
“We spent the past few days, including New Year’s Eve, visiting Maria Messina Ritacca and her husband, Vince, in Weston, FL where they moved last year. A very fun time.”
Our daughter, Julie sent me the following link from a Madison TV station featuring a story about the old “Gobbler” restaurant on I-94 between Madison and Milwaukee. The story was originally published/aired on December 10, 2015,
After looking at the story, it jogged my memory. I did some searching, I found a few more stories to add to the history and mystique of this Wisconsin icon. Take a look, and if you wish, add your comments in the space provided below. Cheers! ChuckR
