Georgie,

          Here are some pictures from Bruno's Induction into the WWWA Hall of Fame.  It was a well deserved and long overdue celebration for Bruno.  The choice for this venue was as great as the dinner.

          Bruno gave a speech in which he detailed his childhood in Italy during WWII and even though I heard the story many times,  It makes you realize the care and love his mother had for her children.  He said she was his "hero" more than one time and as he ended his speech, he made one last comment about her and had to pause to compose himself.  He told the story that I was not aware of.  There were two Germans in the mountains that found his family amongst others and were ready to gun each of them down only to have a nearby person knife both of them.  He said his Mom told the kids "don't  be afraid, now we won't have any more suffering, we will have food now, no more eating snow.  We will go to a mansion in heaven. It was very moving.

           His speech was followed by a question and answer session which lasted about 45 minutes.  I think there was about 80 or so people there.

           I hope you enjoy these pictures.

Regards,      Dr. Bill DiMino
