Things Work Out
November 17, 1999 During WWII, Julius Carabello was a young Italian guy who enlisted in the Navy, not because he had to but because he felt like it was what he should do. He grew up hard in Denver. His mom, a single mother with several children, unable to support the family, had had to leave him in an orphanage till she could catch up. He was there for three years. Julius had always wanted to go to Regis College and during high school, he saved up, working where ever he could. He was hoping to get a scholarship as a walk-on in football. He enrolled and walked on but by the time he got there, he found all the scholarships gone and it turned out he couldn’t go to college. So he married his beautiful sweetheart, Lois, and went into a landscaping business with a friend who needed someone with a strong back. He was married when he went into the Navy and his first job was to teach swimming to new recruits so they could at least get far enough from the ship that they wouldn’t be pulled under
