Hi Mack: On the corner of Butler and So, Clinton there was Amodio's store.in the 30s and much latter. They lived above the store and were the nicest people I ever knew. Alice was among my early girl friends. There was Peter and a gang of sisters along with Mrs. Amodio who ran the store and made us always feel at home. We spent much time on Butler St. in those days and will always cherish them. Regards

Hi Ralph:)
Thank you for pointing this out.
Josephine Amodio's Grocery Store
address was 556 South Clinton Avenue and thus not on my Butler Street address list but it was a
corner property and thus located
on Butler Street as well.
My Book says Josephine was the widow of Rosario Amodio in 1957:)
I find Alice Amodio in 9th grade
in 1936..her brother Peter is one
year younger and thus appears in 1937 in 9th grade (both at Jr4).
