Yia sou George! The primary persona is The Greek. He is an entrepreneur and a family man who came to America when was eighteen years old with a green card. He wanted to make enough money to be able to move back to his country and live comfortably after he saved enough money. Instead, he began a construction company and stayed for years. He started a family and began utilizing hobbies like fishing to keep to his roots and occupy his spare time. He would make enough money to send his wife and children to Greece. This meant that he would not get to go back to his homeland as often as he wanted to but he wanted to show his children the life he grew up with. His frustrations are the cost of tickets to travel to Greece. He believes that the prices are outrageous. Prices make it hard for even the people he knows to travel to Greece. Another frustration is that there isn’t any authentic Greek culture to show his own children on Long Island. He tries to find time to bring them to, Astoria Queens, but struggles as it does take a lot of time to travel to and from to find good Greek food and authentic culture. Wishes there could be a better solution. 43
