A Tribute to Madam Marie

A Tribute to Madam Marie

Today (7/2/08) the Asbury Park Press (http://www.app.com) reported that Marie Castello (a.k.a. - Madam Marie) passed away this past Friday - June 27, 2008. As I had gone by her place over the past couple days, I noticed a well kept facility, but no keeper at the booth. I also noticed that the flag over the Convention Center had been flying at half mast. Today I learned that this had been done as a tribute to her memory.

So Long Madam Marie...
