...however, the myth of the New World plutocrat persisted. This was still the impression that Gatzoyiannis gave when he met the boat that carried his motherless children from Piraeus to New York City in 1949. Gage, then nine, recalls his father's "gleaming black oxfords, gray overcoat, and broad fedora -- an island of style in a sea of weeping and embracing refugees." The reunited family boarded a new blue DeSoto for the ride to Worcester. The car turned out to be rented, the old mill town no Athens, and Christos Gatzoyiannis no big shot...
