Ivano says (Cont'd): Pictured below is Marvin Ameil as a Santa Cruz Police Reserve working the Santa Cruz Boardwalk.
And pictured below, (center, on the drums) is Marvin's father, Figlio della Costa (Son of the Coast), Joseph "Black Joe" Ameil with his band, performing on a Santa Cruz North Coast Ranch. The occasion was my father's (Gervasio "Bronco" Comelli) going away party in 1931. My father was returning to Italy to find hinself a bride (my mother Valentina Bressani). My father is the fellow center left, front row, with bow tie.
Addio Marvin Ameil. Until we all meet again, "Across il Ultimo Ponte" (The last Bridge).
