In JERSEY CITY the Mayor Kinney was preparing to take over the political
machine from the Hague Era and the Democratic Party continued the
domination.. The Philippine Peso currency of the decade was signed by Miquel
Cuaderno. He was the Governor of the Philippine Central Bank
and his kin Rudy Cuaderno married Fe on that year 1948. Rody followed the
family tradition of working in the Banking and Financing business.
After a successful career from Manila
to New York City with Fe always in
his side settled in Jersey
City. This did not prevent him from accepting the Mayor request
to work as Senior Citizen Commissioner in the City that they had chosen
to spend their golden years.

years later Rudy and Fe renewed their solemn vow
at the Church Our Lady of Czestochowa without
