I have miracles happen often. Sometimes I just don't notice them, but this.. this was truly amazing.
I know people think I'm a bit over the top when it comes to the Italian research stuff. I really dont care what those people think. I can sense people guiding me. When things like this happen even more so I realize what a gift It is for me to have this mad driving passion.
In English class we are writing our second essay, I was doing research on a search tool through our school. A story comes up and lines some words pop up to me fitting perfect with my essay. Then I see it. Names I see the names in the paper.
This reunion picnic we are having in June . There were some people I couldn't find, assumed they were dead, had no descendants, or daughters and the names had changed.
I saw a name. Smack dap in the middle of that picture, the accordion player is Al Maletta , the story I found talked about his daughter Beverly how she was submitting photos of him to Vincenza Scarpaci a Author living in Eugene Or who is writing a book called "A Journey of Italians in America", this artical was written in yakima hearld.
So I got on it tracking down everyone who I could . I emailed Vincenza, sons of Italy in yakima- and today I got replies. This evening Beverly called we missed each other but i'll try her tomorrow. She left me the greatest message,The message said:
"Hello Crystal Ainardi, I wanted to let you know my father is still Alive he is in his 90's!"

That is cool that, through writing your paper, you found some connection to your past.
It was really amazing!
