Mr. Moss…I am the 2nd cousin of Constance Towers. I met her in 1956 in Pico California. She came to our house to meet my mother Dorothy Nerbovig. My grandfather Bob Towers and her grandfather Walter Towers were brothers. I have been trying to reach her for years. I have written 13 books and I am trying to find an agent for re-publishing, a movie, or a T.V. Series. I have also written 3 screenplays. My books can be found at http://www.therobinhoodvirus.com or http://www.barnesandnoble.com Robert aNerbovig. Please let me know if you can help me. bob solartoys@yahoo.com

Comment on D-DAY –The Day that Changed the War by Claire Graham Kellerman

Astounding to be learning about WWI and II at age 60, now, in 2024, because my life was too busy with all sorts of distractions, and I had to focus on survival myself.

I am grateful to read about the survivors of WWII, as my father fought for Scotland, in Gibraltar and all his friends died. He was the only friend who lived. He was a Captain, and in the UK military for 7 years.

Aloha,
Claire Anderson Graham

Comment on A Man Called “ISHI” by Eric Johnson

In reply to Pissed Off Native. We appreciate your comment. With due respect, perhaps you misread John's article (who is also a Native American, by the way). He mourns Ishi's loss as tragic and recognizes the damage inflicted by some white settlers. But he also recognizes that just as not all Native Americans are "all good" all the time, no not are all bad. And the same thing applies to European settlers; some were trying to "do good." And again, John's opinion is that of a Native American; one who seeks to speak with words intended to heal. We suggest you try that approach sometime.

I can’t stand, especially as a Native American myself, who’s tribe was a victim of Christian indoctrination, which is what the trail of tears was all about… how dare you load this article with so much religious bullshit. If you have to put god into everything you do, don’t speak about Native Americans. Unless you do some research and educate yourself on how Christianity targeted and harmed Native Americans, and apologize for what your religion has done to my people.

Comment on Patriarchs of Alta California: Sunol and Amador by Virginia Jamison

It is unfortunate that we are unable to communicate with each other. I see several who are interested in the Amador side of the family but I am unable to reach out to them. It also appears as the writer Anita is not collaborating with the other members as well. If there is a way for her to reach out to all of us that would be incredible!!!
I myself can be reached at facebook.com/amadorcity . I post random facts about the members of the family including: Bernal, Sunol, Berryessa, Sansevain.

Comment on The Colombo Club and Italian Oakland by Steven B. Di Ciucci

Cari Figli, Figlie e Amici d’Italia: Dear Sons, Daughters, and Friends of Italy:
In 1906, my Italian Great Grandparents and family came to Oakland as refugees from the San Francisco Earthquake. They were Che and Anna Tomatis (1st-year immigrants from Rocca de’ Baldi, Province of Cuneo, Italy), their daughters Margaret Musso aged 16 months (my Grandmother), and Mary Beccaria, aged 1 month. There was also Anna’s sister, who had just arrived from Rocca de’ Baldi. They were all given shelter on, the 2nd floor of a location at or near Shattuck and Telegraph Ave, Oakland. That place may have possibly later become Bertola’s Restaurant. If anyone has any relevant info about such a place at or near Bertola’s, I would be most interested and thankful in knowing about it.
Thank you…Mille Grazie.
Steven B. Di Ciucci, Son of Bruno and Betty (ne Musso) Di Ciucci
