Before I start canvasing every dang school in the Philly metroplex - does anyone happen to know offhand what high school or private school Mosconi attended?
Did he graduate from High School?Mosconi went to Barrett Junior High School and then South Philadelphia High School.
Did he graduate from High School?
How in the Hell do you people know this stuff ? Mr. Bond barely finished typing
and here comes the answer. It would take me longer to remember my own schools
and they were both 2 blocks from where I lived for 20 years.

"I went to the local public school, then to Barrett Junior High School and South Philadelphia High. About halfway through high school my father took me out and enrolled me in Banks Business College. I had no interest in business and I certainly didn't want to go to a specialized school, but my father had his own ideas. His sister's husband was in the shoe-binding business, and my father was hoping to get me some training so that I could join him in the business. But it didn't work out that way. I completed enough courses to receive my high school diploma, but about halfway through I had to leave and go to work."

thats a fancy way of saying "I didnt finish high school"
(common in working families in those days and is no reflection of his intelligence)
