Here I am with grandmother, Maria Rosa ~ March 30, 1947. Notice the beautiful crochet work of the doily. Although she used only two stiches - single and double crochet, she was able to develop lovely creations. This skill was handed down through generations of family.   Carl Potorti & future wife, Florence in 1944. They met at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard and were married 54 years until Carl's death in 1999. Besides me, there are are two brothers: Carl Allen, born 1953 and Robert, born 1960.  Preserved furniture - Purchased in 1932 for the Potorti home at 2325 South 10th Street, Philadelphia.
