Antonios believed that opportunities for success lie across the Atlantic, where his two brothers where living. Costa, devoted to his books and ancient history, had other plans for himself but he had to conform to his fathers wish at this point. In 1909, early summer, reluctantly embarked on this American expedition. The destination was St Louis in Missouri to join his uncle Peter Combis. |
