In September of 1949, Armand graduated with an Associate in Science from the Junior College of Commerce. Today, we know this institution as Quinnipiac University, in Hamden CT.
Below, you'll find a photo of the college as it looked in 1947, which was likely the time that Armand started classes. Underneath that is Armand's commencement program. You can find his name listed on the last page. For a bit of history of the Junior College of Commerce, and how it's name changed to Quinnipiac, please click here.

Thank you Idie, for sharing this document with us!
Rose's passport tells us that she started her adventure in Manchester, England when she arrived on May 15, and ended her travels when she left Rome on May 29 to go back to America. This document also speaks of a different time, a time when the assumption was that the bearer would be a man, perhaps "accompanied by his wife... minor children..." (see third page of the passport), but take note that there was no section for a woman traveling to write in her husband's name! Different times. That wouldn't fly today! Rose has clearly also managed to take an attractive passport photo, and I don't know about you, but mine has always come out horrible. Go Rose! Enjoy! As I mentioned in a previous post, we are very fortunate to have memorial records for both Giovanni and Antonetta. Though these documents are somber in nature, I think it's important to share them, as they too are small windows into our family's past.
Below, is the memorial record of the proceedings of the funeral service for Antonetta. It includes the location of burial, attendants, and lists an obituary. Unlike Giovanni's, Antonetta's obituary doesn't list her interests and involvements. Perhaps she was involved in activities at the church? Perhaps she found herself too busy at home to volunteer in the community? Could anyone shed some light? If nothing else, we know by the outpouring of condolences, Antonetta was loved.
