Richard Sinatra - Junior yearbook photo
This photo is of Richard Sinatra taken in the 1951 Downey Union High School yearbook photo. This photo was taken of the student performers in their presentation of "Mother is a freshman". The yearbook reads:

Whirling into the exciting events of the year was this year's junior class. Contributing to the big events of the year were the "Junior Stars," in the exciting hit, "Mother Is A Freshman." This profitable enterprise provided funds for the ensuing and much-awaited "Jamboree," the Junior-Senior Prom. Many junior guys and gals gave their time and energy for the success of the event of the year. Bows and beaux, fun and flowers, moonlight and mooning were found aplenty with every one having a whirlin' good time on the gay night of May 25th.

Richard is shown here in the middle between Charles Cornett (left) and Alvin Boyd (right).

Richard Sinatra
Richard Joseph Sinatra was the son of orchestra leader Raymond Dominic Sinatra (born November 1st, 1904 in Agrigento Sicily, and died in Las Vegas Nevada 1980), and Prima May Cordani (born Dec. 1st 1904 in Massachusetts, and died November 20th 1991). Richard had one brother and is a cousin of Frank Sinatra. Richard married Linda Marsh, birth name Linda Cracovaner, who was four years his junior on April 3rd 1966. They were married by Judge Andrew W. Weiss of the Beverly Hills Municipal Court who performed the ceremony at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Linda was a popular actress who initially appeared in a few off-Broadway productions, and eventually became a huge success. Linda received a Golden Globe nomination for her role as "Thomna Sinnikoglou" in "America, America", and she went on to play Ophelia, as well as appearing in numerous television programs. They divorced in July 1970, just a few years after they married. Richard Sinatra died September 1979 in Los Angeles California, and is likely best remembered for his role as Beast from "Haunted Cave" (1959), and the 3rd sergeant in "Gomer Pyle USMC "(1964) as well as Private Herman Grammelsbacher in "Ski Troop Attack" (1960). For a complete list of his credits, see Richard Sinatra: Professions.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
