Your webmaster

This site is produced by Craig Goldwyn. I have been a Tortorello since I married Mary Lou Tortorello in 1974. Marry one and you become one. There are none more fervent than the converted. I do my best to keep this site up-to-date and accurate, but I have been known to make mistakes. If you spot one, or if you have info of interest to the Tortorello family, please contact me. I make my living as a writer, artist, and web designer. Please visit my web development site at http://visibility.tv. and check out my art at http://craiggoldwyn.com.
