He was the son of Susan and Carl Menino, who are both of Italian descent. Menino’s father was a factory foreman at Westinghouse Electric and his grandparents lived on the first floor of his parents' Hyde Park home. After graduating from St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Jamaica Plain in 1960, Menino enrolled in three night classes at Boston College and began working at Metropolitan Life Insurance. Much to his father’s dismay, Menino decided college was not for him. Carl Menino once recalled his son's reasons for opting out of higher education: “Truman didn't go to college”, the younger Menino would tell his father.〔 President Harry S. Truman was Menino's favorite president and personal hero. Menino received an Associate degree in Business Management (1963) at Chamberlayne Junior College, now Mount Ida College. During his terms as Boston City Councilor, Menino received a Bachelor of Arts in Community Planning at the University of Massachusetts Boston in 1988. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Menino」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
