I took this photo on Columbus Day in Elizabeth New Jersey in 1990 at a time my grandfather was mayor of Key West the city of Elizabeth where he was born and raised flew him up from Key West to be the grand marshal of the famous Columbus Day Parade 43 years before this photo was taken my grandfather was one of those Italian mob guys from New Jersey he fucked up real bad and fled to Key West to hide out 1947, there was a contract out on him The guy right next to him Aldo Landino was one of the guys holding the contract whenever my grandfather came back to New Jersey for a wedding or some high-stake card game he would have a bodyguard or two even though the contract was faded away when these two guys seen each other they gave each other a hug Me and my two buddies were relieved we were the new half ass bodyguards
