      @@michaelfranzese Michael, see if you can interview Al Capone's grand niece. Her name is Diedre Capone. I think people would be interested. I think her book was called something like "My Uncle Al". This is from a website about her: "Today, Deirdre is a wife, mother, and grandmother. Her children and grandchildren are aware of her family’s past, but this wasn’t always the case. Persecuted for her family ties as a child and young adult, Deirdre chose to hide her true family name from everyone but her husband, Bob, for many years. Now, Deirdre publicly acknowledges her identity and seeks to share her story as the last Capone." WOW ! That's an interesting story !

    It was heartwarming and encouraging to hear that she took control of her life at 19 and came through it.

    Rita is such a genuine person. A quality which is rare these days. She never deviates away from talking about her life with her father in interviews. Let’s be honest here she could easily start reeling off stories about her fathers associates, and her fathers family and their history with the mob. She instead sticks to her father, the man many recognise but very few actually ‘knew’. Great interview, and I like your connection, relaxed and easy! Only person I have seen you this relaxed with is during your chats with Chaz.

    Michael, I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Rita, in all her generosity was willing to meet up with me in the tri cities just to help me with my diabetes and to heal myself after I relocated to the Midwest. I myself have the gift of claircognizance, and Rita is so very interesting and inspiring. Rita is such a gem.
    Thanks again, Michael.
