NEWS: Hiding the Salami

The Brummers' 82-year-old father, Sam -- who owned the 95-year-old deli before his sons took over its operation -- fought in World War II in France and described receiving a salami in the mail about every month and carrying it around in his backpack for weeks.

All have been purchased with donations of $10 per salami, including a 13-year-old girl who donated $1,000 from her bat mitzvah money.
