Boston Bruins Stanley Cup Parade 2011

As luck would have it, Joe was in Boston for Father’s Day in 2011, so it made perfect sense to take a trip into Boston for a view of the Stanley Cup during the Boston Bruins parade!

Red Sox World Series Parade 2004

Hell Froze Over this fall. The Boston Red Sox finally won a World Series.  When the ‘Red Sox won the first two games of the World Series and Boston came up on the weekend airfare special from Atlanta, I got the bright idea that it would be fun to watch the last two games of the Series back home. Turned out to be just in time to catch the World Series championship parade, and I really mean ‘just in time’. As soon as Joe met Mark, Nick, and Andy at Fanuel Hall we heard the roar of the crowd get louder. We ran up the steps in the nick of time to catch a glimpse of the players and the World Series trophy riding by on the parade route. Wow was that cool!

It’s in the Hole!

MYSTERY VALLEY G.C., GA – Former Brockton resident Joe “Chico” DiNunno Jr. kept up with the Ace pace set by his father earlier this year by using a 6-iron to record a Hole-In-One on the 141-yard 16th hole at ‘The Valley’ this afternoon. Witnessing his imitation of Bill Murray in Caddyshack were Rocket Ron Placey, R. T. Rooten Tuten, and John Titak. This surprising event marked the first time a father and son from Brockton have recorded Aces in the same year – at least we haven’t head of another one.
