'My mom used to tell me the story of Johnny Appleseed and how he traveled around planting apple seeds. And he wore his cooking pot on his head. I thought that was the best story and I would go around the house with a pot on my head, pretending I was Johnny Appleseed. There is a wedding picture of my parents above the piano. My mother always played the piano, often writing music for church. Pictured: my mom Anne Santangelo and myself Lillian Santangelo (middle daughter, child number 3).'
