Memories of John

I did not know John, because we moved from the area when I was only 5 months old. My cousin Karen Caccippio had many close friends who died in the fire - I believe she would have been in the 8th grade. My family lived right across the hall from the Manganello family, and my mother always remembered what a beautiful family they were. It broke her heart to hear about Johnny.     -- (Kathy (Genovise) Driskell, Neighbor)
