I was teasing our colleague. the gentleman from New York . about the fact that he beat San Franciscans to the punch. and the gentleman from Maryland . they beat us to the punch with this resolution. Because while he was a Yankee. the Yankee Clipper. and while he always thought of himself in those terms. he was a San Franciscan and we claim him with great pride. His experience was that of many Italian immigrant families. He was raised partially in North Beach and then his family moved. He built a home when he was making $100.000 a year for his parents in the Marina district. which is a trip of not many blocks but a great distance for many Italian Americans at the time. in fact. a trip that the Pelosi family made from North Beach to the Marina as well.
