| Life on 57th Place |
| Due to circumstances beyond their control, the family was forced to sell their house on Honore St. and move out of the neighborhood. They bought a similar house at 3536 W 57 Pl and once again the family settled in. It wasn't Honore St, but we had good neighbors and lots of laughter and good times. Grandma Russo lived with us for a while and at one time, there was four generations living in the house. |

| Dad retired from the Chicago Fire Department in 1979. Never being ones to just sit around and "be retired", Mom and Dad decided their next venture would be a good one. After one of the worst winters in Chicago history, they decided to relocate to a warmer climate. After a lot of research, they decided Arkansas was the placee they ought to be. So they loaded up 3 kids, 1 grandkid, 7 rooms, a basement and a garage full of furniture and "stuff", a 4-room apartment and they moved to Fayetteville. Arkansas. Mobile Home Park. A whole 'nother world. |
