Gino Carlotti is a retired educator who lives in Erie, Pennsylvania. He spends his retirement days doing the things he likes best – writing, lecturing, traveling, and volunteering on a number of projects for his church, his community, and the welfare of school retirees. Proceeds from his writings and honorariums are donated to his two favorite charities: the parish church his parents belonged to in Erie’s “Little Italy”, and the scholarship fund of the Pennsylvania Association of School Retirees.
