Weido passed away just six years ago just shy of his 94th birthday but his story lives on through his children Sons Jay and Neal
Chipoletti

at the age of 20 Weido Chipoletti went on over 30 bombing missions during World War II for the 515th bomb Squadron


Neal: to ask that of somebody who's not even a legal age to go have a beer in a bar and you're putting your life in on in sacrificing uh time with your family and friends to for our freedom

Host: some of those missions lasted over seven hours and those long range strategic missions had Targets in Italy France Germany Austria Hungary and the Balkans


Jay: he was the nose Gunner so he would go up in the turret and uh defend against uh other planes that would be trying trying to shoot him down


Host: born in New Kensington Pennsylvania about a 20 mile ride to the city of Pittsburgh Weido put Family First and it took a special event with his granddaughter to finally open up about his Tour of Duty

class and that's when we started getting out you know it's like oh you got this purple heart and cluster and all these photos

Host: and he recorded those logs on the back of $1 bills he picked up in Italy and survived a number of close calls


Jay: they were flying uh back from a mission and they were shot up they lost the motor uh but they're they're making their way back the pilot said no don't don't go um what we're going to do is
I'm gonna I'm going to try and ditch it and land it and we'll try and get out and he did a remarkable job

Host: Neal Chipoletti honors his father by participating in motorcycle rides that benefit local
veterans

I have a new cot today, June 2, 2023. It took HOURS to take the old one apart, however, it was worth the effort.

Maybe if I sleep more comfortably, I will not be so grumpy :)

I also sleep in my zero gravity chair in the picture, it is really helpful to release my body from the usual pressures.

Joyce Nicastro Jacobs, daughter of John Nicastro, my maternal grandmother's brother, and Mary Senegal


My cousin Joyce and I were about the same age. When we were about 12, I saw her walking down the hill toward my parent's home. She was crying. I went out to meet her. She had been with an elderly woman when the woman died just a few minutes before. Joyce said that she saw a light go from the woman's body up through the ceiling while they were alone.

Peter D’Argenzio, 86, of Port Saint Lucie, FL, died on March 6, 2021.  Peter was born and raised in Arnold, PA to Joseph and Berdine (Chipoletti) D’Argenzio.  He attended Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where he studied music.  After graduating, he taught music in public school for five years before becoming a sales representative for Apeco and later for Jostens, in the corporate recognition division.  He had a very successful career, spanning 37 years and won many awards.  Some of his more famous clients included the Pittsburgh Pirates, Steelers and Penguins.  He retired from Jostens in February 2002.

All through his career he continued to be active in music.  He played trombone professionally in the Pittsburgh area for many of the acts that came into town, including Sammy Davis, Jr., Frank Sinatra, Gladys Night, the Supremes, the Civic Light Operas and traveling Broadway shows.  He was also head of a Dixieland band at Three Rivers Stadium for the Pittsburgh Pirates.  He continued actively playing in many groups in the Boca Raton and West Palm Beach, Florida area throughout his retirement years.

Peter was predeceased by his wife, Sandy and survived by his five daughters, Debbie, Diane, Lisa, Stephanie and Kara from his first wife, Judy.      


Ancestry dot com showed my ancestry as a huge semicircle with Florence, Italy at the center, a radius going east from Estonia down to the south, however, not west of Florence in origin, only in progeny moving toward western Europe at a later time.

I can actually find traits in my parents that relate to their lives, addictions and skills! Near Florence is the city Siena https://www.discovertuscany.com/siena/palio-siena.html where one of the first known horse races ever started.

'...The Palio horse race has its origins in the distant past, with historical records indicating horse races in Siena already taking place in the 6th century.' My father was addicted to betting the horses for as long as I knew him, almost 70 years!

Goddess

i did not know

my dad's mother

very well,

that substantial

full blooded italian

woman whose

maiden name was

Cavaliere

yet she consumed

my afternoon at the lake

her death consumed

me

and i wondered,

if the sunlight

on the water

of Greenlake

was her spirit,

the glare, the warmth,

the light--

was it her?
