How did I become John? Good question.
When I was five years old, this question never came up. My name was simply who I was ... Gianni Sandro Esposito, un piccolo ragazzo named after my nonno, Giovanni D’Onofrio.

Sing Along > Cheers, Cheers for Old Notre Dame
When I attended Notre Dame (1962-1966), tuition was $50/year and the annual Seguin School Bus fare was around $200. The cost of school books was extra. Some of us could only attend NDCS with the "anonymous" financial support of Sr. Marie Last and Fr. Basil P. Malone of St. Theresa parish/convent. In those days, our Catholic schools received only partial funding (at the elementary school level) Grades 1-10. Grades 11,12,13 were considered as a private school, therefore ineligible for government tax support. This was the case until 1987, when Catholic Secondary Schools finally received the same level of funding as the Public schools. - G. Sandro
