The Beginning
I was born at 12:18 a.m. on December 23, 1954 at St. Lukes Hospital in Kansas nCity, Missouri. My parents were Fred and Nancy Caponetto.
I have one sibling an older sister Victoria. We lived in a small apartment in what was known as the Northeast where the Italians lived. The apartment
was not very nice, my mother didn’t work and dad worked for Manor Bakery delivering bread, mom used to say the rats were so big you could ride them,
she would put a loaf of bread on the counter and the next morning the rats would pull it off the counter and eat part of it. It wasn’t an easy life for my
parents since my dad was the only one working. I only lived there for a few months, my mother’s parents (Tony and Vita Treccariche) had moved out
of the Northeast and brought a house in East Kansas City and moved away. There was a house next door so may grandparents gave my dad enough
money to make a down payment on the house so we moved there. It was a small two bedroom, one bath house so my sister and I had to share the bedroom.
It was nice having my grandparents next door.
