One day, a very well dressed gentleman stopped to say hello. We understood at once from his accent that he was an Italo-American or rather a Siculo-American, and his tie! That was really flashy, with lots of flowers and colours.

.round, with a winning smile, a big jolly face, medium height and with eyes so blue they seemed to light up his face.......

In respect my father got up and turned towards the man to shake his hands with great affection. Then he turned and looking at me he said: You, must always have great respect for this gentleman.

Rather confused, I asked Why? and my father explained: Because, in America, he saved your grandfathers life after he had been unjustly condemned to death.

So I went to him and with great respect said hello to him. I was very little then and that gentleman seemed as big as a mountain to me but he gave me a pat on the head.

When he left, my father had to satisfy my curiosity and tell me the whole story.
