Finally you need a few things like what we find that families buy the things that I know my dog would be most welcome you to and watch your gap to. See in the US you that must be one of those more as they mean that all that's part of it but it'll mean and that's what. This. Young man but I mean that's it I'm going to put it. On the money. But I feel that I see on that I got I think the only guy with a. Better life but I feel for the noise so maybe you are the

one that I think of it but I see only nothing. This is why she didn't. Let. Me sell up on the list you that no one knows about I was with you on the levee that I must get out. It bothered almost think that if somebody in Lecky know that I got you Washington a bleak little city of us totally Some He's made less you. I was. I was close knit communities people. Built a lot of their social life around the parish church and I can remember going to a walk kinds of fun activities plays and shows and. As well as going to the Grammar School. But a lot was developed around the church and those days and so it became kind of our social center. But there was a mass exodus like right after the

second row and the housing was kind of all of that time and there rather wasn't fixed up during the Depression and in the ROI years that followed and so people look for something new and they could buy a home with no downpayment on of the G.I. Bill. So we saw that in our neighborhood start to break up. In the last year. But I want to ask them.

About that. You got it I have I'm going to. When.

I get my way. They banded together in that one area which I knew so well. Because there were low rents and once again they like like so many other ethnic Catholic communities before them they look for to bind themselves to the parish church and unfortunately we we saw the need in the worst Irish speaking priests available. To serve the needs of the people. And so my school became and I predominantly Puerto

Rican at the time. And. Bright eyed the traditional societies the Sacred Heart Society which was popular in Puerto Rico for women and the daughters of Mary and the Holy Name Society. And people began to develop a sense of unity around the church as well as they began to develop the small social clubs. There was a sense of the strength growing because they they were bonded together and bonded. 12 13 block area. And out of that they were beginning to help each other find better jobs and it was a great deal of communication with goes on. When you have a close knit community. If it is your last name goes for the timing of Amos I want to be fit in this. Yeah I mean we were discussing you know the element was what we can use that information so I was pretty close to it I mean gross

in that I don't you see me as most struck a school that's a little bit like me cause not a lot of impulse you see there are we have a broke ass era that of what I can you know Anyway forget adjured the way I see it everywhere that I thought I had number the Puerto Rican boy take that association look at that I was. A piano player anyone I am not that I haven't even when I mean I remember on my head they aren't bad. No I don't I don't want to recognize my program and that I guess you know good thing and should never have a project that I'm not going to out of God. If I can as other you have families and focus a little what are occurring and work better so I get a part I had a little boy had me got back together but I mean he hung up. But I thought he had been like yeah I know.

Ignorance can sometimes breed fear on the part of the authorities and I don't know how many times really straighten out some confusion. My Puerto Rican says they come from one climate I like to sit on especially warm weather and sit around on a street corner time and talk. Erster I have another nine people in front of the house and just sitting down on a Sunday evening yours or weekday evening in the warm weather and I'm freshly out police automatically would think sometimes that you know there must be up to trap or there's something going on. There's a group that's gathering and then they would bring their guitars and they're buying guns. And sometimes this was not looked at and two from or away by the authorities. And so I think it was just a matter of getting to know that this was their way of celebrating and it was healthy because it meant that they felt that the street was theirs and that they had. And you know it was part of the neighborhood spirit. I enjoyed that but one thing that was a difficulty for because I'm a so-called quotes in there.

Little upping CB a little saying assessing the sytem be at a loss. Yes. Well you know what about that. You've done this I think I'm going to find this that you're getting I meant this you know I thought that but I've yet to get one of the what I want to let you know but I doubt that. But I do not a bit want to get over. How we can see a neighborhood like the iron bound witches. And he snork our people some groups there of course and there are of them. And people rehab or houses and you can see how a lot of the strength and that that community

which is made of a very with ethnic communities promotion and timing approach you can use Spanish Broderick in the song. They were able to stay together. Over a course of 20 or 30 years and there was a real solid community build and I wished I had been. I had enough sense to realize that. What was happening to our people as they were being I scattered and. I think I would assume something rather would've been effective or not I don't want to power structure I don't know I would've said no. These people have a right to be here because they don't know anything. Doesn't mean that they don't have rights and they don't and that this is not their neighborhood because they don't know anything. There's no excuse they're here and they like it. And let's see what we can do to build it up from some very combat and to build. Public buildings or educational institutions.

But again you have got things enter the mess you have static on us either of what you know I don't know I. Don't know. Most homes being. Just like them. We came from small villages we were poor there and we lived like one little if you want to say a one family house OK. Then we came into these tenements a tenement.
