LUIGI MEMORIAL NOW PART OF POKEMON GO!

July

Can you believe it? I was alerted to this by a Facebook friend of mine. Just when I thought my grandfather had reached the apex of recognition, THIS HAPPENS. Pokemon even wrote “In Memory of Luigi Del Bianco” They got the birth date right, but the date of death is 1969. That’s ok. What is important is that young people can now discover him in a whole new way. Feel free to let people know they can get cool pokemon “stuff ” across the street from 68 North Regent Street in Port Chester, NY 10573. This makes me very happy, but I can’t help but say to myself, “What would Luigi think of this?” It’s a whole new world, folks!
