My parents came from Greece many years ago during the depression, and I was born and raised in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan. I went to high school and city college in Manhattan. The biggest thing that made me smile was one of the areas of the main building which was the Great Hall. I remember a gorgeous blonde coming out of the professor's office. I met and talked to her; I found out that she was working for the professor. Many years later I married her. I made the military a career, and we had a fantastic 20-plus years together.
