I vividly recall a scene I witnessed many times when a family became united. The joy. happiness. exhilaration they all felt at being together. together. yes. but this was together in America. That was the highlight of that joyous encounter. Relatives. palsani and friends joined with them. plying them with questions about their own people back home. Some received parcels and letters brought in by the immigrants. There was feasting and drinking. sometimes on borrowed money. But the occasion made even a debt worthwhile. Nevertheless. underneath it all. Papa had already made arrangements for school. Nothing was going to interfere with this goal.
