Breaking News!
Tonight I spoke with Fernando Acevedo, Anthony Acevedo's son. It was a thrill to spend almost an hour on the phone with him telling me stories about his father... After hearing about me through Wayne Drash of CNN, he expressed to me that he would love for me to be apart of the dedication of the diary. He stated that, "You are now involved in this and it wouldn't be wright for you to not be included in this occasion."So instead of being a spectator I will be a part of "the family" tour (as he put it) to the museum and see his father hand over his precious memento's to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. What a thrill. I feel as though I know the family and can't believe the opportunity I have to document this momentous occasion. So not only am I going to see them on the 11th of October for the interview and to be one of the last people to ever hold this precious WWII diary, I will be with the family during their tour and dedication of the diary! Thank you the Acevedo family for including me in such a huge event. I am ever so grateful!
