In this episode, Ralph Renzulli interviews Joe Mastrocco, a St. Johnsville resident and WWII Veteran who served two years in the Navy at Pearl Harbor.
Before COVID, Renzulli had started a series of interviews with Little Falls Vietnam Veterans. The show was produced by The Creative Outpost and was filmed at the Little Falls Library in the China room. Thirteen episodes were completed before the program was shuttered.
Initially, it was only Little Falls Vets, but he thought if someone was willing to do it, why not Ilion, Mohawk, Herkimer, Dolgeville, Fort Plain, or Canajoharie? "Anyone willing to do it," he stated.
Renzulli says he intends to expand it to any Veteran - from World War II through Afghanistan. "I don't know how many people we have around here who have participated in those wars, but there have to be quite a few."
