Later, he would complete his bachelor’s degree at Northeastern University, Boston, majoring in draftsmanship & mechanical engineering. His time at Northeastern University, was both a challenge and extraordinarily successful. He worked full time at General Electric of Lynn, Ma. and then would embark on his trek to Boston at night for his courses, five evenings a week, finally graduating in 1958. The social atmosphere, from the late twenties to the early seventies, was not particularly welcoming to the children of Italian, Jewish & Irish immigrants. Their struggles were intense, often cruel, and seldom fair. However, they were a strong, proud culture. They walked to wherever they had to go, be it school, work or to their Church or Temple. Usually, the more of a struggle earned them success. Often they would become expert in the profession they sought & uniquely gifted in the labor force. Most of this generation, would own & operate their own business and provide a continuum for their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Ferdinand did this & more for his family to insure them and provide for them to the very best of his strength.
