Born in White Plains, NY, the family moved to the Bronx. There was no money, everyone was poor. I led a very physical childhood, climbing trees and fences hanging by one arm. My nickname became ‘Ape’. I went to a Catholic school, where you found nothing negative and the nuns were strict.

Two Letters: One to play ball with the Yankees and one to fight the war in Korea
At the time I was drafted, I had no idea what an impact my experiences in Korea would have on my life. The first few days looking at the children lying about with no place to go, I was deeply moved and could think of nothing else. I found myself praying for them, soon food and clothes were in order. At this point, I began asking God for help.
