Teresa Dept: In 1965, her family decided to visit relatives in Toronto. They were seduced by the prospects of the new world, and the visit resulted in a wonderful lifetime in Canada. Teresa quickly secured a position with CIBC, according to Globe and Mail. Teresa was very loving and generous with her boys. She thought it was important for them to pursue an education, and was delighted to see them become successful lawyers and she had a gift for math and pursued her studies in that male-dominated field, unusual for a woman in southern Italy at that time. She obtained a university degree in accounting at the University of Catania in Sicily. Her brother played soccer in Toronto. One of his teammates, Raffaele, was fond of Teresa, but it was difficult for a boy to get close to a military marshal s daughter. After games, Raffaele would return with her brother to wash up, and this gave him a great opportunity to chat with Teresa. Raffaele and Teresa married in 1968, despite the scandalous fact they were from different Italian regions. Vito was born in 1969 and Dan in 1974. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
