In the family's own words

I had my first boyfriend at seventeen. His name was John Clyde and he was the first boy I ever kissed. I wore his class ring around my neck. He was a neighbor, a member of my church and I had known him my entire life. I had my first taste of a pizza while on a date with him. It was at Mama Bosso’s, downtown Moline, the year was 1956.
