When Jeffrey Rosenbloom, Salvatore Sal Greco, Mike Costanzo, and Ted Mosconi met in Cub Scouts at Saint Rocco's Catholic Church in Pittston, Pennsylvania, they knew they wanted to be friends. So, they made a pact-they would be friends-for-life. Nothing and no one would ever break up their group, not even mean, old, grouchy Sister Ursula, who took them out of alphabetical order to banish them to the four corners of her classroom at Saint Rocco's School. Accompanying their resolve was the nagging question, Would they change the way they played the game or would they change the game itself? Love, religion, two failed marriages, illness, and family would test their mettle collectively throughout their lives. Their culture and a strong work ethic would help them defend against unwanted transformation. When circumstances didn't threaten their core values, they went with the flow-a part of fitting in; when circumstances defied their deep-seated principles, they stood firm-a part of being your own person; when circumstances warranted, they reinvented themselves-a part of growth. Throughout their maturation, each sought answers to life's questions; at times, they discovered resolutions and at other times, their quest only generated more questions. Regardless, each became his own person. On Becoming Us describes how these four friends dealt with life's challenges, how they overcame their obstacles, and how they survived- no, how they thrived.
