Q: “You are a native of Yugoslavia but have been here [in North America] since your teens. I guess it wasn’t your choice to come to America, was it?”
A: “Well, my father used to live here between 1910 and '21 and he wanted to look for the New World, however you want to say it. And he liked the feeling and he would have stayed but his brothers called him to open a business, so he went back. But after the war in Yugoslavia, things were pretty rough and I'm glad that he applied to go back.”
