With Buonaventura photo, Summer 2002
A single photo was the starting point for everything that is contained within the pages of this "digital scrapbook" that you are about to explore. It was taken in my hometown of Watertown, New York, at my Grandfather's house on Bellew Avenue during the summer of 2002.

I had never before seen a photograph of his father, Buonaven
That photograph became the inspiration behind this Family History Project.
