Steve with Jim DiStefano Ready for Golden Lion dinner and the official installation of Denise Furnari as president At the end of the convention day, these Italians know how to " chill" and socialize. We met some wonderful people (pictured are David Blouin in a t-shirt we loved, and Jack Whittaker. Both are US Marine veterans)in the 'hospitality room'. We couldn't believe the room even had a commercial slicer for prosciutto and cheese to make sandwiches. Here in one picture, Antonio Mastantuono, President of Watertown Lodge shows off his skill on the slicer
