New Member Spotlight

	Frank Mauro...born and raised in South Bend, Indiana-- beneath the golden dome of Notre Dame. Graduated from Purdue where he met his bride of 38 years-- Linda, and moved to Dayton upon graduation in 1969. Frank's family came from the area of Cappacio-Salerno. Frank has spent his career as an engineer in the construction industry here in the Dayton area. His wife is a teacher. They have three married children: Kristen, Erin and Robert, and three grandchildren.
Memorable vacations the Mauros have taken include exploring the wilds of Alaska, and walking across the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Frank is looking forward to learning to speak some Italian so he can visit his roots in Italy in the future, and he wants to join the Bocce League. As for the food, he says "What can I say about Italian food? --the best food in the world!"
David Manfreda...born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, his father was from Poughkeepsie, NY with the majority of the relatives having the surname Manfredi. He believes that his Great Grandparents were from Mustano, La Villina in Italy. If anyone knows where this is, he would really like to know. David has an Associates Degree from Sinclair and worked in commercial construction for the past 25 years in NY, PA and NC before settling down back in Dayton. In 1997 he ventured out on his own with Manfreda Construction Corp., for which the majority of his work is for the Kettering Medical Center Network.
David has been married to his wife, Tami, for 16 years. They have a 15-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn and a 12-year-old son, John. His hobby is following his kids in their extra curricular activities: cheerleading competitions, soccer, football, basketball and baseball. Rumors have surfaced that there may be time for golf with the arrival of clubs at Christmas.
