	Uncle Jimmy, Uncle Domenico, Uncle Angelo, My Grandfather Anthony and my dad Joe, he was six months old when this photo taken in 1934. They use to make nuts on a string, they would make the string 2 feet long and sell them in a cluster from 5 cents to 10 cents each and sell home made Italian cookies on a tray and Italian candy called Trone, from a horse driven cart and decorate the cart in Italian colors and go to different Italian feast all over.
