Family 1 Matilde Bertha Noris, b. 9 Oct 1912, Rosario, Sinaloa, Mexico , d. 1 Aug 1979, Canoga Park, Los Angeles, California, USA (Age 66 years)

Married 24 Apr 1937 Los Angeles, California

When the average income was $1,368 the 1940 census shows Luciano making $1,820 per month as a Radio Engineer working 40 hours a week and 52 weeks a year. This is an amazing feat considering Luciano had only been a U.S. citizen since 30 November 1934. His choice of a technical occupation leaves him and his family virtually unaffected by the Great Depression (1930's - 1940's).
