Photograph caption dated March 20, 1962 reads "That's what boys of the Nazareth House in Van Nuys wondered Monday night when they went to the Knollwood Country Club Restaurant, Granada Hills, for dinner. Frank Arpaia, owner and operator of the restaurant, gave them spaghetti and meatballs and the Knights of Columbus donated $350 in pennies. Each boy could keep all the pennies he scooped up with both hands. Trying their skill are Italo Baraga, 8; Joe Little, 12, and Joe Andreatte, 10, from left. Donald A. Dow, Grand Knight, Van Nuys Council, Knight [sic] of Columbus, overseas [sic] the grapple."
