Hi Mark, I know it’s more than a year later but I just listened to your interview with my nephew Matteo Cassano ,( he was named after his Grandfather ,his dads father ) I thought it was a great interview ..I don’t want to get into our family history but our family loved his dad ,my brother very much and miss him to this day ,his mother on the other hand was a piece of work .
Anyway ,hopefully one day we can connect with Matteo .
Have a great night and again a great interview.
