“CHRISTMAS PAST’….not sure of the year, but my guess is about 1974….give or take……The Dell’Olio Clan…from left to right……my middle brother John who pasted away from cancer four years ago, my Dad, my Mom, me and my oldest brother Mauro. I don’t know how my parents had such tall sons. John was 6’2″….Mauro 6’3’….and I was the runt at 5’10” There was a five year age difference between John and me, and seven year age difference between my oldest brother and me. There was another child between John and me. My mom carried HER full term but she was still born…..Then I came along…..If my sister had lived I probably wouldn’t be here…..Funny how fate is….The picture was taken at my brother Mauro’s house…..Merry Christmas Mom, Dad and John in heaven….Merry Christmas Mauro…..and a HEALTHY NEW YEAR!
