The Wealth of the Bronx

When you were a kid I have to assume that you didn't have a whole lot of money that your family didn't. But my father reminded me that we were not really rich. He always talked about the rich people he did business with and rich in the 1950s or 60s sometimes meant owning a Cadillac. It was probably him and maybe myself to get out of the Bronx someday to live a better life someday. And I was quietly very ambitious in that regard.
