I was a student in North High School, class of 1958, while I was a patient at the Jewish National Home for Asthmatic Children (JNHAC) I was always identified as a Home kid. I learned about the mob from of thr kids and learned that one of the girls in my class was a kid from The Family. Coming from NY, I was not surprised to learn that there were mobs in many places. I loved your story and I love Gaetanos.
Thanks! Are you from NY? When I was at the Home I would be teased about my accent. We would argue about which accent was correct - Denver of NY. I can't remember my French teachers name. It began with a D. She gave me a D in French because I spoke French "with a New York accent"!

What wonderful reflections on the complexity of religious and cultural dynamics. And the accents!
