In light of Sunday’s Rumson St. Patrick’s Day Parade, we are reprising this popular Retro Pic of the Day, originally posted on Feb. 28, 2022. There was an Irish Sweater Club marching with a host of mini sweater wearers on the parade route. But, back in the day …

Well, the hubbub of Valentine’s Day, hearts and roses is looming. And this mind is musing over its true meaning, if there must be one.  And if there must be, the best would be Valentines of a different kind. The best kind. Best friends.
