Biography
By: Mr. Jack Angello

As the story is told in taverns and playgrounds throughout lesser Los Angeles, around 1946, an inebriated stork got lost on a very hot day and mistakenly dropped a young boy and six pack of cold beer in the lap of a hard-working construction worker, Tony Angello, in Pacoima, California. The thirsty worker looked at his loving wife, Mildred, and said what the hay. They kept both packages, a boy named Jack, and the six packs that was named Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer.

Jack grew up in Los Angeles where he completed high school and college. He then went to Saipan with no money (and no honey) and worked for Mount Carmel Elementary School for sixty cents an hour, and between travel and bumming around, continued to work at many different jobs over the years. He has experienced some great adventures and even got a doctorate degree in education in 1996. Dr. Jack always liked to teach.

Thirty years later, Jack is again teaching at a nice school on Saipan and he still has no money ….but he does have a honey (wife) and two fine kids. Jack still appreciates the sight of a wayward stork looking for a place to drop a wide-eyed, adventurous child into the arms of an appreciative parent.
