I saw this photo in a 1958 newspaper and thought I would do some research on his family.
In my research I found a card catalog that I had never seen before:
Associated Press Card Index to AP Stories
So now I have one more place to look for old interesting newspaper stories.
================

====================
====================
other records found:
Associated Press, Name Card Index to AP Stories, 1905-1990
Name Card Index to AP Stories (series 1) Capiello – Corden Caruso – Castro
Associated Press, Name Card Index to AP Stories,
The importance of this index card is that it gave a resolution to the story by telling us that he was freed by Sicilian captors and was back at home.
I hope this has given you a new research tool.
Thank You
