A group of friends currently or formerly from the North End have been meeting together for about 50 years, some a bit more, on Thursdays at the Cafe Pompeii for lunch. Once a year there is a full reunion, as was the case this Sunday. This year’s gathering was at Billy Tse’s Restaurant with about 20 friends attending. “It was great seeing all of us together,” said Bobby Church. “We had a great time and told a lot of old stories. It is a godsend that all but two of us are still alive and in our 70’s.” (Photos by Bobby Church. Click any image to view a full screen slideshow.)
