Nothing comes up for 1930 or 1940 using Roy or Ray. IL or IN. One in WI but he would have been 12 years old in 1930. Sorry ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- If anybody has a subscription to Ancestry.com could you look for a Ray or Roy Brusso (sp) in the 1930 U.S. Census, in Illinois or Indianna for starters? It would be a hoot to see what Mr. Brusso told the census taker his occupation was? Floor sweeper at a motorcycle factory would be downright uncanny. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Barry, I agree with your suggestion that the guy on the fence in the white coveralls is the more likely Joe Petrali. Who knows who the guy is, clowning around on the Henny? Dave, in a couple of days lets fix that page. Maybe other suggestions will float in the meantime. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- I think your interpretation and addition of the captions is incorrect. Firstly Petrali's name looks to me like it is spelled correctly if you look at another "a" and excuse an undotted "i" . Secondly the guy on the bike does not look like Petrali, I would say the guy sitting on the fence in the white racing suit with goggles around his neck and holding a racing cap would be a more likely candidate. The guy sitting backwards on the bike looks like a floor sweeper from the factory. In fact it appears to say on the back of the photo "Henry B... ?on Henny" ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Thank you so much for posting the picutes and informative text. Somewhere I have an old account of that day with a KL, Joe, and a lonely stretch of highway. I didn't expect the skinny tires, and I didn't know Joe wore glasses. Thanks again. Eric ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- I noticed on the AMCA Calendar that today is the famed American motorcycle racer Joe Petrali's birthday. With a little help from webmaster Dave I had a couple photos of Joe posted in the Miscellaneous Section of the KJ EXchange. Check out what's new. Indnrdr |
