This picture is of The Baron Steuben Hotel Staff of 1956. But more than just that, it is a picture of Stefano Antonio Mosca, my husband Bill's grandfather. Our family didn't have that much information on him and only one picture of him survived a 1972 flood. (which was the year before he passed away.)
I have been searching out more information on him and trying to find his family in the US and in Italy. We have found out so much about him and it's so much fun to get to know him. I thought that if I found any picture it would be a military one. But I contacted the Corning- Painted Post Historical Society looking for more information on The Baron Steuben hotel (because Tony worked there for over 23 years as a chef)and they sent me this picture along with a few other things. But A PICTURE!?! I was SO excited to find another picture of him! It was the fist picture I had seen of him. Bill looks so much like him. I can see a little bit of him in all of Bill's siblings too.
Bill and I put the information we had found up until that point into a book for his Mom, Joanne, and we gave it to her for her christmas present. It was fun to give her that for christmas. I've really come to love Tony so much. I can't wait to see him on the other side and to talk to him. And maybe if I'm lucky, He will make me some of his wonderful recipes!
