SHORTLEG, I sent you 2 PM's for your #, anyway, I'll send another one. He had to know Charles Mattina. I don't know what year your dad retired but it had to be close. Mattina left teaching in, I would say, 1977-78 to go to Customs at JFK, I'm pretty sure his brother was there already. My friend, who lives in Westbury, loved the job, hated the commute. You can put that on eBay, with a reserve price, and you never know.
