OMG, another Frankie Vandetta in Monongah’s world

Frankie Vandetta of Monongah and Stephanie Kishbaugh Vandetta, who once lived in Hazelton, Pennsylvania, are the parents of a son, little Frankie. 

Papa Frankie Vandetta is a North Marion graduate and member of the Monongah Volunteer Fire Department.

One more Frankie in the Vandetta family is just going to confuse me more about who is related to whom and how.

There’s a Frankie Vandetta Jr., who is married to Brenda Sturm Vandetta. 

There’s Debra Manzo Vandetta, the First Lady of Monongah because she is married to Monongah Mayor Greg Vandetta. Debbie, Class of 1973, also is busy preparing for the Monongahfest on Aug. 15. 

The first Monongahfest was held in 1988, and Debbie has been a part of the festival committee since the very beginning. 

Monongah's mayor, Class of 1975, is owner of Vandetta Construction. Greg and Debbie live in Monongah, of course. 

Their son, Greg Vandetta II, is married to Janelle Vandetta.  

Ronnie Manzo, Debbie's only siblng, and Janice Manzo's sons are, in order of birth, Evan, Andrew, Aaron, Ashley and Jared. 

Andrew is production editor of The Villages (Florida) Sun for 114,000 residents who are 55 or older (a requirement to buy a home in The Villages).

Valderie Vandetta Aldridge, Class of 1973, works at Fairmont General Hospital and lives in Monongah with husband Jim Aldridge.
