Uncle Vin is a Man Of Consequence



Uncle Vin grew up down the street from our apartment in Brooklyn. He has a beautiful singing voice, a very generous talent for mixing Gin Fizzes and the gravitas that comes with being a retired judge. Of course he lives in San Diego now, but if you get him going right, he will lay down some pretty funny stories from the old days back in the neighborhood when dealing with the mob was a little more daily-dose.
Here, he is sporting one of his famous leisure suit coveralls which he wears with unwavering style. Last year he had replicas made for all the men-folk of the family and I wear mine proudly whenever we visit North County.
