Terry’s Turn
Proud of Irish roots, but wish I came from Italy Although I’m proud of my Irish roots (me great-grandfather came from the Emerald Isle, don’t ya know), I still sometimes wish I was Italian. I guess my fascination with all things Italian began as a kid in my neighborhood in North Omaha. We were a diverse population in that neighborhood with various ethic groups that included Irish, German Terry Turner and Italian fami- tturner174@longlines.com lies. One of my buddies who lived at the end of the block was Russell, who was Italian, and I quickly became enamored of

Sioux City
the Italian culture. I loved going over to Russell’s house because it was completely different from mine. Where mine was relatively quiet and reserved Russell’s house was anything but. Whenever I would go to Russell’s house his mother would welcome me with a boisterous greeting and wrap her arms around me and pull me into her ample bosom. Then she’d hold me at arm’s length and look me over. “Terry!” she’d shout. “You’re skin and bones. You need something to eat.” Then she would sit me down at the kitchen table and feed me some of the most delicious food I’ve ever eaten. On a few occasions while I was enjoying some Italian delicacies Russell’s parents would get into a heated discussion. Those were not really fights by any stretch but just
very animated discussions. Voices were raised and there were exaggerated hand gestures. I’d sit at the table calmly eating some delicious morsel and watch the show. It was great. They never seemed to be really mad at each other but were just passionate in everything they did including arguing. I was so fascinated by everything Italian I decided I would be Italian. Sadly my conversion would only last a week or so but for a short while I pretended to be Italiano. I even managed to learn a few phrases in my new language. I would greet my friends at school with a boisterous “Ciao, Amico!” I would vary that with “Hey...Paisano!” Then when we left for the day, it would of course be, “Arrivederci!” My friends were used to my somewhat erratic behavior so this new twist was generally
shrugged off as me just being weird again. And since everyone knows Italian is a romance language and Italians make the best lovers, I decided one day at recess to try my new language skills on one of the lovely young ladies on the playground. I walked up to a comely lass sitting in a swing reading a book. I got down on one knee so I could look her in the eye. Then I seductively raised one eyebrow and huskily said, “For me it was colpo di fulmine my dear.” Which in Italian means, love at first sight. I smiled. She whacked me on the head with her book then walked away mumbling something about weirdos on the playground. As I rubbed the growing bump on my noggin’, I began to wonder if this Italian thing was such a good idea. Maybe I should consider this

Terry’s Turn more carefully but instead I carried on. My downfall came just a few days into my conversion to all things Italian when I saw what we were having for dinner one night. Hamburgers! And I was expecting spaghetti. That’s when I made the fatal mistake. I walked up to my mother who was busily preparing the evening meal. I boldly raised my right hand and put my thumb against my fingers and waved my hand at my mother. “Whatsadamatterforyou, Mama?”
I shouted. “Where’s a da spagett?” My Italian conversion ended right then and there. No more Italian phrases, no more Italian accent. Sadly I went back to my old boring WASP ways but I never really lost that desire to be Italian. In reality I would probably make a lousy Italian. I’d never be able to get the hand gestures right.

Birthday cake cut at 6 a.m. sharp SIOUX CITY | At 5:55 a.m. on a Friday all is dark at McDonald’s, a restaurant within WalMart on Sioux City’s north side. Aaron Null sits, straight-backed, cane in hands, peering down a long, thin table. {/span} Buddy Ben Gerritson grabs the focus of Null’s glance, a birthday cake with 92 sweet decorations. “Happy Birthday Aaron,” Gerritson says, showing him the cake. It takes but five minutes for a halfdozen buddies to show. Null treats them all to birthday cake at 6 a.m. sharp. Punctual? More than that. Null’s birth-
day isn’t for another 24 hours. At this age, he laughs, you get things done early. Hours matter, even for an optimist who boasts about leaving a green banana at home. He’ll be back when it ripens. “I wanted to bring it today to show I’ve still got faith,” he laughs. For this Leeds resident on Sioux City’s north side, it’s a place among friends. “I make it here to coffee about seven days per week,” Null says. “I have my place here at the head of the table. If someone is in this seat, they’ll get up and move when I arrive.” John Barclay often sits to Null’s left, Don “The Dutchman” Van
Roekel to his right. Farmers, retired teachers, carpet layers, food service pros, keepers of the power grid and old city workers like Null, himself a heavy equipment operator and foreman for the city of Sioux City, gather daily to soak up coffee and atmosphere. No one is immune from the barbs centered on spending habits, professions and past mistakes. “What we say here doesn’t go beyond those doors,” Null says with a point to the exit. They trickle in before 6 a.m. and continue arriving until 8. Null harps on each to grab a piece of cake. Null, a native of Albaton, Iowa, traces
his early-rising ways to the farm south of Sioux City. Following his rural upbringing he served with the 82nd Airborne across the Atlantic Ocean throughout World War II. He hauled bodies, equipment, delivered paratroopers and more. “You kept busy, that was the key,” Null says. “I was in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Sicily and England. We hauled paratroopers to Normandy and Omaha Beach before the invasion.” Null suffered a back injury while loading freight during his tour of duty, ever-thankful he wasn’t shot. “I had friends who were,” he says, voice trailing a little. “I came home, they didn’t.” Back home, Null farmed for two years near Westfield, Iowa, then became a trucker and toiled in construction. He was welding when he answered an ad for the city of Sioux City, at the time
“I make it here to coffee about seven days per week,” Null says. “I have my place here at the head of the table. If someone is in this seat, they’ll get up and move when I arrive.” Aaron Null in search of a heavy equipment operator. He did that work for eight years and then became a foreman for the next 17. He retired in 1983. He and wife Doris would winter down south. They traveled and kept on the go until her death from cancer 12 years ago. Null has battled back from four heart surgeries and nine stents. His current glasses are a decade old, but pass the muster for his driving ability. He’s had two cataracts procedures and knee surgery. He has breakfast some days before 4:30 a.m. His hearing? Sharp. Sense of humor?
Sharper. “The camaraderie is what we have here,” Null says. “There are guys darn near at fisticuffs at the coffee table and then they walk out of here arm-in-arm.” As the sun creeps over a pink horizon east of Leeds, that’s what they do. They snort, howl and belittle one another, all in fun. They leave slapping backs and shaking hands. This day is special for a salute in song, “Happy Birthday,” to the 92-year-old senior statesman. The attention warrants tip of the cap. Aaron Null has his cake, and eats it too. At 6 a.m. sharp.
Tim Gallagher, Sioux City Journal

the process killed the sheriff making the whole gang accessories to murder. On John Dillinger’s 31st birthday FBI director J. Edgar Hoover made the notorious criminal Public Enemy No. 1. On July 22, 1934, a trap was set by the FBI to end Dillinger’s criminal career. Agents enlisted the help of Anna Sage one of Dillinger’s many girl friends. Sage was under investigation for immigration violation. For her help in capturing Dillinger the FBI would assist her in her fight against being deported. That evening Sage told agents they would be going to a theater in Chicago but she didn’t know if it would be the Marbro or the Biograph. Agents were dispatched to both theaters. At 8:30 p.m. Anna Sage,
John Dillinger and Polly Hamilton walked into the Biograph to see Clark Gable in Manhattan Melodrama. Two hours later the trio left the theater only to be met by lead FBI agent Melvin Purvis and two other agents. Dillinger immediately recognized the trap, pulled a gun from his pocket and headed for the alley next to the theater. Agents fired five shots and three hit Dillinger who was pronounced dead at 10:50 p.m. in the Alexian Brothers Hospital. At the end of the selfguided tour through the museum visitors can see Dillinger’s death mask along with his original tombstone. The stone was removed from Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis after too many people chipped pieces off as souvenirs. The Indiana Welcome Center in Hammond houses the John Dillinger Museum.
