• Notes

  Feb 18, 1937 applied for SS...resided at 75 E 2 Street, NY--- From Peter Huller: One thing that still puzzles me is how my grandparents got together. The existing tale was that Grandpa came to America with his father around 1922, realized American women weren't for him, and sent for Maria La Rosa, a neighbor girl, to come marry him. She came within a year. My Aunt Connie was born Feb 1, 1924. In light of the fact that Pietro came over in 1913, I'm wondering at what point did the decision for Maria to come over occur? How did that "long distance romance" take place? Of course I know that in those days, arranged marriages were common, but still, it's a question mark in my mind. A cute side story goes that when Grandma's boat came in, Pietro hopped in a little rowboat and went out to "guide the ship in." When they met on the dock (or wherever), I guess Pietro was chewing gum and Maria asked him what the heck he was chewing for so long and not swallowing! LOL What's sweet about the story is that it's somewhat indicative of their relationship, at least from my perspective - he was always the devoted, loving husband and she was the same, albeit in charge of the family. Again, that's how I saw it. Feb 18, 1937 applied for SS...resided at 75 E 2 Street, NY--- From Peter Huller: One thing that still puzzles me is how my grandparents got together.
