Rosalie Marino DeMonte led a full and robust life before inflammatory breast cancer took her life at age 68 on May 17, 2006. She was the daughter of Anna and Tony, the granddaughter of Rosario and Maria, Umberto and Vincenzina. She married Arthur E. DeMonte in 1956. In the late 1960’s she was a keyboardist and vocalist in a rock group, The End Result, which her husband managed. She worked at home in the 1970’s as a typist for a computer company which developed into a management position. Also in the 70’s, she was a member of a classical choral ensemble. In the 80’s, she was a landscape artist working in oil. Finally, in the 90’s she was a member of The Golden Apple Chorus, a Sweet Adeline, performing Barber Shop music, where she served two terms as President. Her first authorships were the plays for the chorus’ annual stage show, which she also directed. She decided to write this book - before she was stricken with cancer - in order that her family’s colorful history might be preserved.
Arthur A. DeMonte
Arthur A. DeMonte is the eldest child of Rosalie and Arthur. He's worked as a psychiatric social worker with mentally ill / chemically addicted populations. Artie is also a musician who plays drums, guitar, keyboards, bass, harmonica, wood flute and digital saxophone. He is a published and award winning songwriter, one of which was co-written with his wife, Jeanne. Asked by his mother to help her give the book a more universal appeal, this book became his first foray into writing in a “long format,” and became a labor of love to complete after his mother’s passing. Artie lives in Pleasantville, New York with his wife and semi-owned cat in an apartment below his father.vizualizați mai puține
