| | Between the Icebox and the Stairs by DeEds & Reveal: Chapter 2. The Dago |
 | | Both men, in their own way, tried to protect their images of the devoted father and teacher, which each was to the boy, and project not a picture of a drunk but rather of the rugged, independent but caring man which in their own minds were their true roles. |
 | | The summer cowboys hired by The Dago to work at the Pinecrest stables were typically good-looking fellows of high school or college age, able to assume some degree of responsibility, and had sound judgment at least insofar as Tirreno's concept of judgment went. |
 | | The Dago firmly believed the fellows who worked for him should dress well, have ironed shirts, shave, have a haircut at least twice each summer, and be firmly aware that they represented him at all times. |
