@Arnold D. Cribari, my last name is DiMaggio. My dad's first name is Joe. He's not often on social media or these fine forums. It's kind of a secret code name I use sometimes. It's a nod to one of my favorite stories he tells:
It was very early one morning when he arrived to a hotel on busines. Young woman behind the desk. He walked up and said "reservation for Mickey Mantle." She couldn't find it. "Babe Ruth?" Nope. "Hmmm. Lou Gehrig?" None. "How about Joe DiMaggio? You do? OK, I think I have an ID with that name on it. You see, I'm in the CIA. My assistant loves baseball but always forgets to give me my mission code name." He swears she fell for it. I choose to believe him.
And yes, we are related to the ball player. Great Grandad's cousin.
