description: America was built from the melting pot of Europeans who took pride in their heritage and customs. A return to many of these customs for all nationalities would bring Americans closer together. Everyone respected each others' customs, as they wanted theirs respected. There were bigots and there were prejudices, but they were overcome when tragedies involved them; they always helped one another in time of need. This story is a look into a nostalgic era of yesteryear that brings fond memories of a time gone by. This book is dedicated to the immigrants and first generation Americans who have contributed to the making of the Italian colony of Fordham, a part of America and a colorful part of our past. --- from book's Introduction
