My family just love to write letters on the backs of pictures....I wsh I could read them. Could someone tell me what these say? Grazie, Mike.

Now I know why the Nuns used to whap me with the blade side of the wooden ruler in penmanship class! hide

I was thinking a long the same lines, Cathy!

Hopefully one of our Italian members will be able to help because other than the odd word, I'm lost big time!

Livio is awesome! Very Happy

Do you know who died on the ship Mike? Did they document that when someone died at sea?

To be honest Cathy I don't know his name, but I do know who his wife was. She has slipped off the face of the earth it would seem. I will post that little saga after school today. Time to head out the door all! Bye for now.
