In 1961 Geno bought his 1951 Citroen 15-six and drove all over Europe. He loved that car; it gave him a new freedom and he lived in it for many months. When he returned to NYC in the fall of 1963 he reluctantly left the car on the street in Rome. In July 1965 (almost two years later) we pulled up to that same car still parked on the street and just then some boys had opened the door and were beginning to go through Geno's possessions inside. I jumped out of our home, the 1951 Citroen Type H step van (eight months pregnant) and chased them away. Everything was still there. Geno was delighted.
