This web site is dedicated to:
My dad, James D. Rosinola (1923-1977) – a man who had the patience of a saint and the inner strength of a battleship. He was my rock of Gibraltar and the much needed stabilizer in all our lives. Thanks Dad, for giving me your entrepreneurial spirit, your easy-going temperament and your wonderful sense of humor. God know, and I did too, how much you needed it in your life.
My mom, Ilse Irmgard Laskawy (1926-2002) – a war bride who taught me to say my prayers and make the best butter cookies ever. Thanks Mom, for giving me lullabies sung in German, a love for nature and all God’s creatures, your love for romance, and the courage to follow my dreams.
...and to the first cat to grace our New England home...
Sir Fredrick Gas - a doer of dastardly deeds, bat-catcher extraordinaire and the biggest pain in the ass we ever had! We miss you Fred... always full of “daring do”... for all your wonderful eccentricities, your “squeaky door” voice, your rodeo rides on the backs of the dogs, and your penchant for bologna sandwiches. You started it all, Fred.
