George Studor had the opportunity to visit Larry Coladangelo at his home, July 30 2012, and these are a few things he recalled.
He said 10 guys from his hometown in Wickcliff, Ohio were inducted on the same day, and 9 ended up in the 83rd! Of those 9, 3 were killed, 2 discharged, and 4 came home alive. Returned alive: Paul "Gabby" Vitantonio, Angelo Cecina, Dominic Christopher, and Larry Coladangelo. Killed In Action: Carmen Matteo, Albert Vitantonio (cousin of Paul Vitantonio), and Earl Russel. Discharged: Lester Cinabella, and Tony DeMatteo

One incident he recalled: Galleon drove the ATCO HQ jeep. One day in the Hurtgen Forest, a round came near and he got out of the jeep and a second round knocked the jeep up a tree, it flipped upside down and received almost no damage...
He was thrown into a pool in Germany, but couldn't swim.... They threw grenades into the river to "catch" fish...not that proud of that.
