Because of research I was doing about Gordon Parks in Gloucester and thankfully Joey posted on Good Morning Gloucester, I was able to interview Manny and Joanna Carrancho. Manny and his family spent considerable time giving me a detailed account of earlier events in their lives. They shared treasured historic photos and first hand knowledge and were a delight.

  1. What a a great blessing it shows in the catch everyone looking out for each other when communications were so much different navigational aids-radio no satellite phones or GPS then. Dave
