I wanted to examine the relationships between these two families that go back to the very beginning. Here are some old articles I have dug up if anybody is interested.

This article is from 8.25.1963 Pittsburgh Press

I don't have any pics of Ripepi, but if I locate one I will send it to you. Thanks again for the great articles and insights.
