Autorenporträt
Dr. Margavio is a retired professor of sociology. He was in the first graduating class and taught at the University of New Orleans. He presently lives with wife, Sandy, in Covington, Louisiana. He is the father of eight children and eighteen grandchildren, at last count. Of his considerable underwhelming accomplishments, he was invited by the Congress of Sicily to present "Bread and Respect: The Italians of Louisiana", a book he co-authored with Jerome S. Salomone. He is most proud of his children and grandchildren, and his wife, who made it all possible. These family sentiments go back generations to his Sicilian roots. He recalls, with happy memory, an incident in his life that was foundational. Present in his father's shoe repair shop was an elderly Italian friend. His father introduced his son to the gentleman in a way that reflected his father's deepest values. He did not say, "This is my son, Dr. Margavio". But rather said, "This is my son. He has eight beautiful children". This boast, coming from a man who could neither read nor write, is instructive for our times.
