Melinda, I have a Napier book for you from my Dad, George DeCarlo. I believe you may have chatted with my Dad about Napier Co. where he worked for many years.
Indeed. We have many wonderful conversations. I learned so much from him and he, along with Herb. Z. helped identify many pieces. Here is an article I wrote about your father. https://napierbook.com/the-napier-cos-george-decarlo-a-man-with-a-thousand-stories/
