To the editor:

The young and enterprising Mike Napalitano, owner/operator of Macrays Restaurant at 115 Stafford Road, Tiverton, read the newspaper article about my military service, written by the most talented writer, Jan Wenzel. 

Impressed as a grateful citizen of our great country, he prepared and delivered to the home of my wife Lois and myself a roast beef dinner, complete with clam chowder, mashed potatoes, vegetables and two kinds of cake dessert. It not only was a remarkable response by Mike, it was the best roast beef dinner I have ever had in my life.

A great neighbor —  I understand that when Mike heard of a tragic chartered bus accident of adults returning from a visit to La Salette Shrine, he immediately went to his restaurant and prepared and delivered hot soup to the seriously injured victims.

So thanks, admiration and gratitude to Mike and his folks at Macrays Restaurant.

Sincerely

Frank Marshall

Tiverton
