11-19-82 … Stella brat #2, Charles (not Charlie) Thomas Stella was born. He was an honor student from Port Washington High School on through Albany and Baruch (where he earned his MBA while working full-time) … he runs marathons and broke his neck on a beach with one of them dopey boards (whatever they're called) … he’s a good boy and his 6’4”, thin frame makes it obvious he doesn’t take after me. Happy Birthday, figlio mio.
Charles Thomas asks his daughter (my granddaughter): Who’s Your Daddy?
Eye of the tiger, head of steel, the Chuck-a-babe (and his bro and sis) …
