You must be very proud and for good reason.
My pop came here in the ‘20s but he was born in ‘20, from Naples.
Maybe the strongest and the ones with the best foresight left those countries, cause Italy, Germany, France and Sweden are messes too.
When was your pop born, if you don’t mind my asking.
Pop had me late, at 47.
My Dad was born in 1905.
He was just 18 when he came here.
He was fully literate, but he’d been
working in a coal mine since he was 13.
He was tough like a Banty Rooster.
I got my size and gentle disposition
from my Mother.
