Betty's spaghetti

Betty grew up in Tooele, Utah and met her husband Gus Manderino (from Arlington, Massachusetts) when he was in the Army and working at an Italian POW camp in Tooele.  Their love story is wonderful and their life story is pretty great too.  They married and took the train across the country and started their life together in Boston.  They raised six kids here and though Betty goes out west every winter this is definitely her home.  Gus joined the LDS church after ~30 years of marriage.  he was an Arlington police officer for years.  He passed away about a dozen years ago.  To know the Manderinos is to love the Manderinos.  Tonight I asked Betty to re-tell one of my favorite stories.  #dontmesswithbetty
