I had the pleasure of meeting Ralph and Carrie Capasso in the mid 1960's My mother knew either one or both of them and one day we stopped and I met them at their apartment on a side street off of Broadway in Providence. If I recall correctly, I think Carrie had said that she was part of a circus act in her youth, and later married Ralph in the World War l era. Ralph gave me a copy of a novel by Alexander Dumas which he had enjoyed and I had it for many years. Never met them again, but wonderful couple.

Ralph had apparently done some magic act in his youth and knew Charles Foster Fenner (1872-1967) a famous Rhode Island Magician of the vaudeville era who knew many of the historical magician greats. Fenner lived on Cranston St. not far from Route 10, across the street from an old school and half way up a hill. There was an elementary school at the top of the hill. The old house from the 1860's was unfortunately torn down for a parking lot for a restaurant that eventually closed, after Fenner's death. I knew Fenner because in high school I had been a member of his Young Magicians group which included John D'abate, Richard Mis, Eddie Coningford (who passed away in 2006), Richard Osterman, and others.
