Two Dreams. One Heart.

My married great grandparents came together from Italy to America

through Ellis Island. Their combined courage sustained them

through a series of difficult trials, including once when my

great-grandfather, Felice, lost some of his fingers in a factory

accident. Eventually they settled in Dutchess County, New York,

where their dreams came true. They purchased a farm, worked hard

and raised a family that included my grandfather. I am but a

single rose in the family garden - a garden that grows

stronger and more fruitful every day.
