Nicholas Petron’s grandfather, Rocco Galasso, moved to New York City from Italy with the hopes of making a better life. For eighteen years Rocco served as owner and superintendent of an apartment building where much of his family resided–until the day they were given notice that their building faced demolition to make way for new apartments. As Nick remembers, that’s when everything changed.

  1. I called Briar Rose over to my computer to watch the XVIVO | Scientific Animation videos. She about made me cry. It was so precious to watch her face as she looked at the movies in wonderment. When it was showing the different parts of the human body she said , “Some of the human body up really close looks like the sea and some looks like land.” and, “Others might find this gross, but I don’t.” That’s my girl and future surgeon. I’m so happy I live in a time where I can share such interesting ideas and visuals with my girls.

  2. Gigi- I’ve read your comment about seven times because it makes me so darn happy! Thank you for that.
