Tom and Angela, 50 years together in Boston




In his book, Menino described what he thought of young Angela Faletra.

"She was pretty, bright, funny and compassionate. A Roslindale girl, but you can't have everything."

“I think it was love at first sight. He didn't go out with a lot of girls so it was his good fortune that he met Angela the way he did,” Menino's childhood friend Dennis DiMarzio said.

They met in 1963 in Hyde Park; he was playing tennis with a buddy and Angela was on an adjacent court. The way the story goes, her balls kept flying into his court so he suggested a game of mixed doubles.

Soon after, they started dating.
