Joe was my God-Father.
Joe became my, my brother, and my sister's god-father. We had all been baptized at the St. Aloysius parish in Spanish Gardens, St. Louis. I'm guessing that this was around 1976. After we moved to Kansas City, we'd lost contact. My parents always joked with him about being a "Croat". I always thought that he was born in Croatia and was looking to verify that, out of curiosity.
