Recollections of Rosalie Ragucci-Cook

My grandmother spoke English perfectly but she also spoke Italian, although she could not read or write Italian.   She could read and write English but her spelling was horrendous.  She tried to teach me Italian but I never wanted to learn.  I only know a few choice words!

I remember my grandmother talking on the phone to her sister or sister-in-law many evenings after dinner.  I always found the conversations to be so funny because they would talk half in English and half in Italian.  They would switch languages two or three times in each sentence!
