"Then one day, I came home from my job and I found his Mother crying..." Mrs. Angelini: Mama! What? What is it? Mrs. Angelini's mother in law: There, Carmela...on the table. A letter...I couldn't read it. Heart: What was Mr. Angelini's Mother crying if she didn't even know what the letter said? Mrs. Angelini: Well, a telegram from the United States Government, when your son is in a war, is never a good thing. Mrs. Angelini's Story South Philadelphia, 1950
