The Tracy Family and Buca di Beppo

Luke Tracy who will be the
Catania Elephants signal caller in 2009.

We met the Tracys today for lunch at the Buca di Beppo in Santa Monica for what turned out to be a VERY Sicilian lunch that lasted for 3 1/2 hours!

Of course the main topic of discussion was our upcoming campaign and what was in store for Luke in Catania.  We covered every detail and answered every question that all five of us could come up with while still having a delightful time.

Laurie and I left the restaurant both feeling very positive about Luke and that we have the right guy to lead us in 2009.

In a related issue, our defensive back, Larry Atkinson arrived in Catania yesterday.  Wide receiver Claudio Mangano reports that he was quickly welcomed into the fold with an evening of fun and frivolity at Fundo Bianco.  The Fundo's owner, Atillio, was reportedly in rare form with his usual fire and drink show.

WELCOME TO THE ELEPHANTS, LARRY!
