I forgot the year but my husband and I had a 1967 Mustang...whenever it rained the carburator would get wet and the car would buck and stall out! We had to dry it out to continue... well, we were on our way from Enfield to my parents house in Hamden with our two cats....it was pouring out... our "trusty" Mustang started to spit and we knew it was going to stop... well... we got off of the highway and as we were near New Britain,, we drove to Mama and Papa Caputo's (Ginotti's) house...
They greeted us with open arms... we even brought our cats into their house. I remember Mrs. G saying "gee, your cats are better behaved than some children!".. it was funny... they gave us food and drink (not the killer eggnog) and we dried out our carburator and we were on our way!
Again, they made us feel welcome and anything they could do to help us they did.....what can I say.. it was a fond memory to both of us...love, love, loved them both.....they will be missed!
