Grandparents lived on Coles Street and on Monmouth St. Aunts on 1st, 5th, 7th and also 8th Streets. Fr. J. DeSanctis baptized me in Holy Rosary Church in 1938. Went to kindergarten in Holy Rosary before moving uptown, but spent all my summers at my grandparents homes. My Uncle Fr. George Morreale was ordained in Italy and said his First Mass in Holy Rosary Church. My heart will always be there.

I am proud to say that Fr. Frank Fano is a friend of mine. So good to see him in this interview. Watched it with tears in my eyes. Like you and Frankie said, “being Italian, we get very emotional”. How true that is. Great interview. God Bless both of you.
