A bit of history. I was born on April 28, 1949 to Joe and Jennie Tatulli in North Providence, RI. I am the oldest of three siblings. I have a younger sister, Denise, and a younger brother Frank. I was raised Roman Catholic and attended St. Lawrence School for grades 1-8, Our Lady of Providence Seminary for grade 9, and La Salle Academy, Providence for grades 10 through 12. I attended and graduated from Providence College in 1971 with a BS degree in Business Administration. I was also a Boy Scout from Troop 33, North Providence (based at St. Lawrence Parish), and attained the rank of Life Scout. I had many wonderful friends as a child growing up in a typical "50's" neighborhood. I loved sports but wasn't a great athlete. Some of my fondest memories include playing sandlot baseball with neighborhood friends after school, and playing fun games with friends on our street (Hatherly Street, North Providence, RI) like "hide and seek", street football, and staying out as late as possible, better known as "when we were called in by our parents because it was getting dark."
