Giuseppe Di Benedetto Salvatore Di Benedetto on his experiences working and as proprietor of Joe’s Concord Fruit Shop: “My brother and I were very young and full of ideas of how we were going to get rich, so my father bought us this fruit shop, and my mother, brother and I operated the shop while my father went to work as a carpenter. We were up very early because we lived at Merrylands and I would drive my mother and brother to open up the shop, while I drove to Haymarket to buy the produce. We did not make a fortune, but we had a great time [and] met lots of wonderful people at Concord. |
