Judge Anthony Alaimo's life is a metaphor for quintessential American values: courage, hard work, patriotism, compassion. This biography does not dwell in the realm of metaphorical; it plunges us into the day-to-day life of an immigrant family struggling in the depths of the Depression to become Americans, of an immigrant son putting his every dream on hold to pursue a greater passion: love of country. It carries us into the madness of air warfare, the horror of a screaming crash into the frigid North Sea, the terrible realization and burden of living with the knowledge that you survived when everyone else died. The son of illiterate, but deeply religious Sicilian immigrants, US District Court Judge Anthony Alaimo shined shoes and cut hair in Jamestown, New York, to pay for his college education. (He was the Golden Gloves boxer attending the quiet Methodist College.) As a POW, he participated in the world-famous Great Escape, and later broke out on his own, making his way through German lines into Switzerland. A mother's love, religious faith, and ferocious patriotism transform an impoverished immigrant boy into one of the Greatest Generation heroes. This book takes us inside the incandescent life and tumultuous times of Judge Anthony Alaimo, WWII bomber pilot, POW, and indomitable escape artist, whose fidelity to the law is equaled by his compassion and outrage at injustice.Binding Type: Hardcover

Good hobo bag
Color: Grey
I love a good hobo bag for its laid-back style and functionality. It’s spacious without feeling bulky, and the slouchy design gives it that effortless, everyday vibe. There was no odor,material is a good thickness, not sure on durability since I just started to use it. The bag was bigger than I expected.

Strong stinky odor
Color: Army Green
I cannot share the stink of the purse. It fills small rooms with its odor. The bag is okay, but needs to be washed….

Perfect size!
I love a good large hobo bag! This one has a great slouch to it and you can fit a ton in it! I've had everything from my iPad and a makeup bag plus yoga clothes and still had room for a water bottle too! The fabric is gorgeous and although I'm not always keen on logo-prints, I like that the bag's print is so understated and discreet.

Large, non zipping, sturdy, stylish
large cream MK purse
I’m giving my thoughts on this purse that I got recently and here is what I liked.
Size-
This is a large purse. It has one large main compartment that is secured with a gold, snapping clasp. It doesn’t come apart unless you push both sides of this clasp.
1 pocket inside for my phone or whatever I need quick access to.
2 vertical outside pockets with working zipper. The pockets run the height of the purse and are narrow. I can get a skinny water bottle in there.
Not Adjustable
This comes with a short shoulder strap. The strap is not removable. There are two D-rings (H-ring) on each side that hold the strap so if I want I can add a long strap. Really though, this is not the kind of purse that would look good with a long strap. There is plenty of room to put the purse on your shoulder and it feels very secure.
Look and feel
It looks and feels like leather to me but it says PU which is not leather. I’m fine with that. It is firm in a sturdy strong way, having structure and can stand up on a table. The material is the kind you can wipe with a damp cloth. This purse is not going to get stained unless it’s something like ink that stains practically everything. Mine has monogram NK but if you don’t look real close, I think it looks a lot like a designer purse with the monogram m and k.
Function
I tend to change purses a lot so I keep things in smaller bags. For example, I have small bags for makeup, medical etc and they fit neatly in here. There is not a designated place for cards and cash so you’d need a wallet or you could put it in the inside pocket. I use a medium sized wallet. My iPhone 14 with case fits in the inside pocket and hasn’t fallen out yet. The 2 outside zipper pockets are large enough to hold my phone and my wallet, one on each side.
I can’t think of anything I’d add or change right now. This is a very nice bag to carry everyday. The holding capacity is similar to the neverfull.
I’m happy I got this and can recommend it to you. It’s nice looking, makes good use of space, and for me, was a good deal.
