Angie in her early years during World War II worked as a label riveter in the cockpits of airplanes because she was small enough to get into those tight spots. In New Jersey she worked with the abandoned and non adopted children at the Childrens Home and has been involved in many aspects serving the disabled over the years by her services at Landmark Disability Center in Hialeah, FL and organizing functions for the disabled groups in South Florida. She always catered to needs of the disabled not only in her services but also in her donations to the organizations like the North Dade Bowlers she developed and organized for several years providing outlets for the kids entertainment. Annual Cruises and Christmas Parties were great remembrances for all who attended that took care of our young disabled (as we all called them our KIDS).
