A photo of Grace (Gabriele) Svendsen with 5 of her 6 brothers:
Tommy, Arthur, George, Armand, Jimmy, and Ralph. They all had Italian names which they did not use. Jimmy looked like Gene Kelly and was always easy to spot. Armand was tall. But Ralph was my favorite.
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.
