If you want pics, best bet is to go on Ebay and look under Hurricane 1938 book. They have a couple with pics just from RI.

I was wondering if there are any photos available from this hurricane. My day was a big part of the cleanup and he passed away in 1975. His name was Armand Giammarco and I would love any photos you could provide. Thank you!!

What Do You Think of the State's New Ability to Track Illegal Immigrants?

  • I Like it, illegal immigrants are finding work easily while I rot in line at the unemployment office
