Ciao Guilaino,

Piacere Signore!

You are correct. My grandparents from my father's family are from Enna, Sicilia. They emmigrated to the USA in the first decade of the 20th Century. I am second generation in the USA.

I had the very good fortune to serve my country in the U.S. Army for 20 years, and while serving, was privileged to serve for almost 7 years in the Southern European Task Force (SETAF) of NATO.

My places of duty were Livorno (Campo Darby) and Vicenza (Campo Ederle) and joint US/Italian duty with the 57th Gruppo, 1st Air Brigade, at the Italian Air Force Base, at Ceggia.

I left Italy in January 1988...it was a second home to me... my Italian language skills are very rusty. Thanks for your spelling correction, and welcome to the forum.
