Also would like to continue with the search for Anthony... too bad about his parents...
My ancestral paesanos too... on a Sunday..They were actually inside of a church when the earthquake occured.
But if Anthony was the only child... then this earthquake must have happened when he was just a child? Guess he was raised by aunts and uncles?
----------------------------
