The 4/18 refers to the name  of a Warren, PA, film production company,
Four Eighteen Films." The name itself refers to the April 18th birthday
shared by the company's two founders.

For the date  4/18  in this  journal, see "April 18" and the tag "on0418."
Happy belated birthday.

From an obituary in today’s Boston Globe  —

“His father, meanwhile, had retired and hoped
to open a liquor store in Brooklyn.

When bureaucratic hurdles made his goal seem unreachable,
an old friend, Anthony Paterno, who ran a grocery and bottling
business in Chicago, persuaded him to try opening a shop there,
where fewer obstacles existed.

Salvatore Terlato enlisted Anthony to help him, and together
they opened the shop, Leading Liquor Marts, in 1955.”
