Letter to the Editor: 

History Walks – Carlo Ariano

Thank you for printing the wonderful story of our great-grandfather - Beez Nono - Carlo Ariano. Although just a child I have a vivid memory of him sitting in his home on York Street with Beez Nona, Scolastica. Our grandfather Henry Ariano, his son was a wonderful kind and generous man deeply loved. And our Dad Ernest Charles Ariano dearly loved and missed every day. Every member of the Ariano Family became very hardworking people across the board and that is a testament to our elders beginning with Carlo. It is wonderful that you are publishing stories of those who really were instrumental in helping established our community and who were the backbone of a community with so much incredible history. Although I left Sioux Lookout 32 years ago - I have found that you "never actually leave Sioux Lookout". You may change locations, but Sioux Lookout is forever in your heart. Thank you again for sharing some of the Ariano Family history. Reading it has truly touched my heart.
