George had the last name of Gabriele but Italians were feared and discriminated against because of the ruthlessness and stupidity of the Mafia and low-class gangsters. So many Italians chose the name Gabriel. If they were in certain professions they were likely to be working with Jewish bosses and some either converted to Judaism or married Jewish women or pretended to be Jewish. In any event, Jews very highly regarded as friends, co-workers or bosses.
For fifty years I have been a Document Examiner and that is how I earn my living.
For over 50 years I have also been a publicist for actors, singers, writers, composers, artists, comedians, and many progressive non-profit organizations.
I am a Librettist-Composer of a Broadway musical called, "Nellie Bly" and I am in the process of making small changes to it.
In addition, I have written over 100 songs that would be considered "popular music" in the genre of THE AMERICAN SONGBOOK. My family consists of four branches. The Norwegians and The Italians and the Norwegian-Americans and the Italian Americans.
