Mountain Men And Vaqueros

 

I just came across this photo of my brother Michael (on the left) and a family friend, John Foss (on the right) holding the banner for the Tucson Mountain Men in the La Fiest de los Vaqueros rodeo parade. This picture was taken over 40 years ago! 

As you can see, the banner says "sponsored by Damiano's".  Damiano's was an Italian restaurant on Stone and Drachman in Tucson, Arizona.  It was owned by Damiano and Assunta Ali.  

The restaurant has since changed names and is now known as Bottega Michaelangelo, located at Magee and Oracle in Oro Valley.  This is the Italian restaurant that Ed and I go to regularly.  And the Ali family still owns it.  We always have a great meal there!

What a fun little history flashback!
