I voted for him in World War II. Q: Who was your favorite president? A: FDR. Q: You are a pretty dedicated voter – participating in all of the elections? A: I vote as often as I can. I’m interested in what’s going on. More so now, because Trump is in. Q: Do you still cook? A: Yes, I have to eat. Q: Are you a good cook? A: I don’t want to say ‘good.’ I watch what I eat so I can live well. Q: What’s the secret to your longevity? A: I have to thank God. All of the goodness that’s in me comes from God – blessing upon blessing. Whatever you write, God comes first. I want to give God the glory because he’s been taking care of me for the past 100 years. Next, I have to thank my father for the DNA. I’m the 11th child and the other 10 are deceased. I was the 11th kid. We were poor, and when my mother died, the City of Boston stepped in because my father couldn’t handle 11 babies. As strict as he was, I couldn’t ask for a better father. I was taken away from the homestead when I was one years old, when my mom died. I was taken away by the Child Welfare Division in the City of Boston. And they would find homes for you. My father was a laborer. He had to work every day, but he never forgot us. He came to see us. He took us home in 1941. He had to go through a lot of red tape, but we went back home to East Boston. My father served in the Army during World War I and died ASKS | SEE PAGE 21 WALL OF MEMORIES: Family photos and framed college diplomas earned by her two sons are displayed on the living room wall of Abettina Dell’Orfano Morano’s apartment in the Janet M.
