In 1959, the three eldest Paoletti brothers got on a ship leaving from Abruzzo, Italy with their mother and crossed the Atlantic for 11 days, docking in Montreal and then making the trip to Toronto. Eventually settling in the Willowdale area to be reunited with their father, who had come ahead to secure a job and new home for his family.<\/p>\n
Our Mother\u2019s dinner table is what always united our family during the trials and tribulations of a first generation immigrant family\u2019s survival in a new country.
