Before Dominic left for the war, he was engaged to a woman named Rose from Elizabeth (not his future wife, Rose Nardi). He did not want to marry this Rose, so he never told her when he returned from the war. She assumed that he had died in the war. About 50 years later, Dominic was having dinner by himself at the Turkey Farm in Chester NJ. As he waited for his table, a woman ran up to him, threw her arms around him, and said “Dominic! I thought you were dead!” It was Rose who recognized him 50 years later! Although Dominic initially swore that it was not the same woman, she knew a great many details about his life 50 years ago.
