Oma Growing Up

Janet frequently was asked by her curious grandchildren: What was it like growing up Oma when you were a little girl? She realized that as a 100% Italian American she was obligated to teach her eleven Chickies about their proud heritage. Therefore she decided to ensure that each Chickie should-and would-learn not only about Oma's growing-up days but also about heroic ancestors leaving their homeland and coming to America to make a better life for their yet-to-be-born progeny.
