St. Raymond's Ave in the late 1950s. The scene looks like Ralph's first communion. And there he is, dead center -- so Italian, so intense (to quote the Irving Klaw Trio, whose members included Ralph's eldest son, Jeff). Another photographic time capsule of one of the great cultures of mid-20th century New York. Take the time to click on the photo for a larger view to study each face. What a collection! Look closely and you'll find "XXX" Al, Ralph the Plumber, and the father of Joseph Medeglia, the priest at the baptism in "The Godfather".
