Dear IGG Members, It is with deep sorrow that I announce the death of our Special Projects Coordinator, John Martino, at 10:30 AM today. John dedicated all his spare time to coordinating the funding and digitizing of our online databases which have been so helpful to researchers worldwide. We are all saddened by this news. Arrangements are pending. I will send another email as soon as I have that knowledge. Angela LaGiglia Italian Genealogical Group Bethpage Public Library, 47 Powell Ave., Bethpage, New York.

Dear Angela (if I may). I did not know John Martino, but I join you and others. Having made 'arrangements' myself recently, I know what this can mean (both a blessing and a strange burden). I lived in la bella Roma for a year. Jim Mandaville (of Dhahran but now in Oro Valley, Arizona, my second 'desert', although I assure you, this one is not a true desert!). >Dear IGG Members, >It is with deep sorrow that I announce the death of our Special >Projects Coordinator, John Martino, at 10:30 AM today.
