    Died 3/15/1990
    He immigrated from Sicily in 1922 . He was very proud to become a naturalized American citizen. He was a kind but tough guy who worked hard and didn’t complain. He was a master plasterer .

      God Bless Him !! I'm originally from Ireland. Came to the US in 86 and worked as a Mason for 10 years before I got an Injury. From Soccer LOL, Hip Injury. And went to College. I am an Engineer now fixing Xray Machines etc. But I worked with a Lot of old Italian and Sicilians Stone and Brick Masons in Boston, MA some came here as Kids. Great workers, especially skilled at Intricate Stone Work and Plastering too. They were great fun too and would drink and tell stories in the Bar after work too. I was a young guy and they kept me out of Trouble a few times too both at work and in the Bars. God Bless them all and your Grandfather !!

    Loud hammering, no gloves, sharp metal edges, extreme heights, no safety glasses. Their clothing looked stiff and bulky and their shoes didn’t have gripping rubbery soles but yet they balance on a 2” diameter steel pipe 1000 feet up. You’d think their hats would blow off with the slightest wind gust. They were amazing. So glad these films were saved and digitized for us to watch all these years later.

      The eagles are made of stainless steel just like the rest of the top of the building. Sheets of stainless steel fastened to a metal frame. They look like copper in the video because the colour has emerged strangely during the colour enhancement of the video. Or maybe the sun was shining on them which would make them catch the light from it, hence them looking like a gold/copper colour.

      As the eagles are made of stainless steel, then, yes, they are probably still the original ones, just like the rest of the building at the top. Even the dome at the top, which looks like arches where the triangle windows are was all sheets of stainless steel which are held together because there is a huge frame behind them that the sheets are fastened to. The many flat sheets of stainless steel would be either bolted or riveted to the massive metal frame behind them. Hope this helps you 😊

    The dude overseeing the assembly of "The Eagle" working without even the most basic gloves... could've wound up with all the digits in one hand lost, yet everything went as smoothly as pie. No harnesses, or nets, and not even widened extensions to the surfaces of the Carnegie beams and girders, not even non-skid. This stuff is DECADES before OSHA was even thought of. Insane courage, bravery, clear thinking, optimism, and BALLS. No early morning hangover- burdened sots, or druggies working here, seemingly.Even fatigue and the everyday difficulties if life would challenge the straightest guy TODAY. Wheaties and Cheerios must've had some secret ingredients back then😂 lol They are working as if on the ground. MAN what a good group of CHAMPIONS!

    Back then unemployed men would line the streets by the thousands in hopes to be picked that day for some hard work and a day’s pay to feed their families. Now, it’s a complete inverse (like many things today). Men run the opposite direction away from hard work and look for a handout instead.
