Today's topic: Video Memoir, Marie Iacono Grunwell (TVIH member)
Interviewer: Cathy Latham
In Marie's own words:
I was blessed to be born the 3rd of 4 children in November 1945 to a loving mother and father with very strong Italian roots. In the late 1880’s my maternal grandparents immigrated to the US from Amalfi, Italy, and my paternal grandparents came from the Isle of Ischia, Italy. Fortunately, they both settled in Chester, PA, where relatives had settled before them and that is where my growing up years took place.
Like most of us, my life has had many twists and unexpected turns. Never could I have imagined from the small town 25 miles south of Philadelphia could I have dreamed of all that was ahead of me.
