The High Water Markers of Bernadette’s Observee, by Bernadette Badgenoone
Bernadette Badgenoone observed the life of a man name Jimmy. His given name was Vincent. The son of parents born in Naples, Italy, he started life on the lower East Side of Manhattan. In America, anyone named Vincent was automatically nicknamed, Jimmy. He named his first born Vincent but gave him a middle name, James. His son wouldn’t have to explain his nickname to his childhood friends. Turns out, it didn’t matter. They never called his son Jimmy. He was James.
Jimmy’s formative years were developed as a first generation American, living in a growing city on the western side of the Hudson River. His siblings and he spoke the language of their parents at home. At school they picked up the slang and accent of the Merigads. They lived through the Roaring Twenties, The Great Depression, and WWII.
Jimmy was a pacifist at heart but answered his country’s call. He was at the upper age limit of the draft. After experiencing the consequence of unbridled aggression, he remained in uniform, committed to making the world a better place. He was at what he considered the upper age of bachelorhood when he met a woman several years his junior shortly after the war. They were married within a year and forged a life together through some tumultuous times.
Those times and the way they handled them are captured in Jimmy’s story.
