For what it's worth, you have my eternal gratitude!<br /><br />My dad came back to marry an Italian girl, no-not directly from Italy but from his own hometown! I remember Lucky Strikes, his cigarette of choice: LSMFT (Lucky Strikes mean fine Tobacco!) <br />I will look forward to seeing the continuation of your story about the "signora!"<br /><br />(BTW, thank you for your comment, had to check where in New England you hail from. I have been a New Englander but for 5 years spent on L.I. when first married.
