Show THIS IS AN INTERVIEW WITH CARL JOSEPH ANTORO ON JU E 28, 2004. THE INTERVIEWER IS BECKY B. LLOYD. THIS IS THE PROJECT " A VI G THE LEGACY: AN ORAL HISTORY OF UTAH'S WORLD WAR II VETERANS." TAPE No. 670 BEC: This is an interview with Carl Joseph Santoro at his home in Salt Lake City Utah. Today's date is June 28, 2004. This is part of the "Saving the Legacy Project". My name is Becky Lloyd. Now, you like to be called C. J., right? SAN: My nickname is Sandy. It was easier to say than Santoro. BEC: Oh, I see. Well, let's start with when and where you were born. SAN: I was born in Bellevue, Huron County, Ohio, July 16, 1925. [Editor's note: Bellevue is 70.9 miles west of Cleveland.] BEC: Now, you were telling me before the tape started about your parents. SAN: My folks came here from Sicily in the early 1900s. I would guess about 1907. BEC: All right, and you said that there were ten children in your family? SAN: Yes, five boys and five girls. I'm the ninth of the ten. The oldest one, the first born, is still alive. She was born in Sicily. She's now ninety-seven. BEC: Wow. Did your folks live a long time too? SAN: My folks died at the age of seventy-five. BEC: So you've outlived them now, but your sister sure has some longevity genes, doesn't she? SAN: Yes, and I have a sister who'll be ninety-one in the end on November 30, 2005 and another who's eighty-seven and another who's eighty-three. BEC: So, you said that you are the second to last, but are you the youngest who's alive now? |
