My Dad told me there was a newspaper strike and in those days Sunday papers had the funnies, the cartoons, since the papers were on strike he would read the children the funny papers. My Dad says he was an outstanding person... He would run to all the fires!!!!!!!!! He rushed to see what was going on. The economic times were terrible, my Dad reminisced.

I know he served three terms but I don't want a third term for Mike Bloomberg. I want to vote for an Italian American, Tony Avella!
My Dad said again, La Guardia what an outstanding mayor!
