Father Frank: "First Photograph" & Last Baseball Game

______________________________________________________________________________________

December, 1929

Savatore & Marie Oliverio are flanked by five of their children. My father
is standing behind my grandparents. My namesake is in front of them.

This Christmas family photograph was taken in either Belle Vernon, PA
or Harlem, NY. At that time, Father Frank was minus seven months old.
My grandmother was two months pregnant when the picture was taken.

April 21, 2007

In 1936, my Uncle was six years old when he attended his first baseball game.
"It was at Yankee Stadium and Joe Dimaggio was a rookie."

In 2007, we were driven to Shea Stadium moments after Father Frank
attended his last concert and the performer was our chauffeur.
