Ettore Fenaroli Family, Arthur, Rita, Lou, Antonietta and Ettore sitting.
This picture was taken in 1942 just before Lou left for the Army.
Mom wanted a family photo before Lou left. Lou subsequently spent three years
in the army serving in the Far East theater primarily in the Philippines.
He served in an anti-aircraft battalion firing 40mm canon.
The weapon was also used as an anti-tank weapon and infantry support weapon.
It was a great day when Lou returned in 1945.
The whole block, 33 St. , turned out to greet him.
There many such occasions on the block that year.
We also a had a block party that summer, celebrating the end of the war.
Many blocks in the area had similar parties.
Everyone was together. There was no ill feeling towards anyone.
It was a wonderful time in New York.
Move on by selecting a new section from the left side.
Bon Voyage...........
