a taste of memories from the old "Bush" Volume II Recipes, memories and photographs of the old Greenbush neighborhood. Almost immediately after Volume I made its appearance at Festa Italia in June of 1988, and in book stores throughout Madison, the response was so overwhelming it became evident that writing a sequel was imperative. This time, 125 families welcomed an opportunity to share their family favorite recipes with old photographs and memories of the neighborhood thy lost. In June, 1990, with the same emotional response, Volume II was completed and published with 150 pages more than in Volume I and five times the number of photographs from family albums. The following spring, the State Historical Society of Wisconsin presented Murray with a 1990 Book Award of Merit. And, once again, people were encouraged to "turn back the pages of time to discover why these books have stirred emotions in all who have read them." 550 pages, 243 Italian and Sicilian recipes, 313 photographs

What reviewers had to say about a taste of memories from the old "Bush" "Whatever your ancestry, wherever your birthplace, this book will make you feel like you've gone home again to visit a vital part of our heritage. It reads like a beautiful novel." Gail Curnett Editor of Fare Share, The Recipe Newsletter "...this book is recommended for anyone who values keeping the memories of their old neighborhood alive, or to pass on the experience to their children and the future generation. The 'Bush' will live on because of Catherine Tripalin Murray." Ann Sorrentino Italian Ethnic Cuisine columnist for Fra Noi "...the memories of the Greenbush neighborhood are preserved in words, pictures and delectable recipes that all combine to make this book a treasure. It is tradition wrapped forever in writing, and through the writing, tradition is preserved. Murray's compilation will make you say, 'Yeah, that's the way it was.'" Fred Gardaphe Fra Noi, newspaper for Chicagoland's Italian-American Community

...on warm summer evenings they would gather on the sidewalk with their instruments and play music from their native country. With few automobiles, there was no fear of blocking traffic. The people in the neighborhood would dance in the streets and sip homemade red wine to quench their thirst. They were good times they thought would never end...
