Angelo’s become a wild animal on our crazy streets. Sally and Felix can’t do a thing with the kid. He wears his hair long, and worse than that, he dresses funny, with black wool socks pulled up to his knees, and a knit wool hat pulled down over his ears in July’s heat. He’s definitely distinctive and different. Actually, he fits in well in our hood. So what’s to worry? Bobby |

Thanks dear Alison, Yes he has turned out well. It just goes to show you, you can't tell a book by it's cover. Love Bobby |

Thanks dear Ida, Yes, it's a pity. Some people start out with such promise, then they go to school, and go completely to the dogs. Love Bobby |

Teenagers do the strangest things, even if they are not comfortable ... I imagine myself horribly itching with the woollen hat and socks in July!! A good one ... especially because we know Angelo succeeded so well in life. Love, Margherita |

Thanks dear Margherita, Angelo did that to be different. He's always had a soft spot in his heart for those that are not accepted, and are different. Love Bobby |

There are many kids like Angelo that wear outlandish clothing. What is wrong with that! |
