I'm still not sure where you get all your info from, and I don't like to call people out, but I sometimes find incorrect/unverifiable information in some of your posts (sprinkled among facts, so they appear to make sense)... Mario Balistreri was not Gaetano's father, and I haven't found a direct relation between them, aside from both families coming from Palermo (Mario's father, Carlo, was born there). Mario was born in SF in 1901. Gaetano was born in Palermo in 1920. Mario married Delia Olivo, from Kansas City, in 1947; they had two sons, Carl and Marco. I'm double-checking with some folks and, if I'm wrong, I'll circle back with an update.
