Petrelis Files

Before my mother Rose and father James got hitched, they enjoyed an evening out at Bill Miller's Riviera nightclub in the 1950s.

It was located in Fort Lee, New Jersey, and was self-proclaimed as "The Showplace of America."

This fabulous black-and-white photo of them all gussied up and smiling, and I'm pleased and surprised it has survived over the decades.

Nice to think of my parents having a good time, especially my mom, before their marriage and bringing their four children into the world.
