Dino Mention In The WaPo!
As Columbus Day 2015 approached, Vincent J. Cannato, associate professor of history at the University of Massachusetts Boston and the author of American Passage: The History of Ellis Island, paid homage to our Dino in his opinion piece "How America became Italian":
...[After World War 2] while Italian Americans’ kitchens were changing the nation’s palate, their creativity was winning over the popular culture. Before the dawn of rock-and-roll, many of the singers who defined American music were Italian Americans: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Vic Damone, Tony Bennett, Perry Como and Louis Prima among them....
This paragraph appeared in the Sunday edition of the Washington Post of the WaPo — the most widely read edition of the newspaper all week long — so we Dino fans know that many readers took note of our Dino and his role in changing America for the better!

Thanks for posting this so quickly, DMP. And on Columbus Day, too!
I've ever on the lookout (always on watch) for tidbits about our beloved Dino.
A little something else I just found:
When the Moon Hits Your Eye or Spaghetti in the Sky
Note home much our Dino looked like his father Gaetano.
And there's a spaghetti sauce recipe, too. A recipe which our Dino's mother made!
I also found this wonderful web page.
Gotta love the Age of Digital Technology!
