He was a pin boy, not much call for that anymore. Then projectionist at Reeves Sound Studio in New York. When he was seventeen, like everyone else, he joined the navy. The Japanese heard that he joined, so they quickly surrendered. Having been a very small part of the war to end all wars, he signed up in the reserve. He went back to work in the sound studio, but the union took away his job. He was an unhappy young man. He went to the YMCA Auto Repair School. After a year of study and experience, he went to work at West End Cadillac. After six months, he was recalled to the navy. They called it a police action in Korea. Six days after leaving work at Cadillac, he found himself on the Icebreaker Edisto heading to Thule Greenland. With his ship based in Boston, he met Gloria, and upon his navy discharge, they were married. He went to work in Danvers, Massachusetts. He was a part-time cab driver and a full-time policeman while attending a two-year business college. Seven years later, he moved his family to Cape Cod, opened a gift shop, then a boat yard, and a restaurant. Convinced by a priest that he could teach Christian doctrine, he continues to share his faith.
Twelve years later, he packed up his wife and five children and moved to Florida. He sold real estate while preparing to open Musicana, a musical dinner theater. Twenty-eight years later, after auditioning 120,000 singers, producing a thousand shows, in theaters, resorts, and cruise ships, he wrote a book. You should read it!ver menos
