Hey Chris, remember the T-bird?

The migrations to NY were for economic reasons;

to better their lives

and their children's lives.

One of pop's older sisters, Maria, had also migrated to NY and was

living in Brooklyn with some of her family, our cousins.

as often as we are able to.

Rosie loves angels! I will make her happy and show more angels.
