Joseph Lotito

Joe was a very keen man,very savy and as a teen myself I worked for him thru OCETA,1977-1980 as a stage hand,Don wiltshire was there and Mike Tucci and mike Cathcart, and Frank Dardano to name a few and bob Brown really looked like Jesus in the part,I remember we went to the Landmark Theater and brought back part of the stage to use for Salt City Playhouse,joe was avery in depth and involved man.

He was a boxer! Carried on........
