Andy was the second child of twelve born in Altavilla Milicia Sicily to Antonino and Maria LoBosco Dugo. He arrived in the US on the SS Perugia with his mother and brother Antonio on 15 Nov 1909, and joined his father in Pittsburgh. Andy traveled as a young adult, met Marie Lagnese in Pittsburgh, got married and eventually became a journalist and features writer with the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. He and Marie never had children. She preceded him in death in 1987. He was a delightful man still sharp and witty well into his 90's when I met him.
