The Memoirs of Angelo Pente:
Angelo Penta wrote a detailed description of the Parish and the community, completed in 1991. Angelo, now deceased, is the older brother of John Pente who has lived on Stiles Street all his life and who recently celebrated his 100th birthday. John gladly supported the posting of his brother's memoir.
