TRUE STORIES — A tribute to 'Cas' Casaletto
http://bamira.com/?5nd=seovpdyv https://connecticutlimoct.com/uncategorized/flknpwybk It occurred to me this week as I grieved over the loss of Louis “Cas” Casaletto, who died on Sept.13, that he was a poet. Not that he wrote

Many of you may remember, Louis Casaletto (Cas) has a small role in the brief production - he took on the role of mine superintendent and drove his own Model T automobile in the production:)
We are pleased to report that another one of our new Jefferson Highway Historic Markers has been installed. This time in Franklin, Kansas at the Miner's Hall Museum in the community. The museum has been a great supporter of the Jefferson Highway Association efforts. The sign was sponsored by the Crawford County Convention and Visitors bureau. The sign details an historic event that happened along the highway route in 1921 with what was called the Amazon Army. The museum has a display about the event and the event has been reenacted with the 100th anniversary of the event pending next year.
These great signs now are in many locations along the route with several more in the planning stages. If you would like information for your community, please comment below or send us an email or Facebook message.
We are so very sorry to share the news of the passing of "Cas". He was a founding member of Miners Hall Museum and a kind and gentle man. His knowledge of the area's mining history was unbelievable. He was always happy to share information and answer questions. He will be deeply missed. He was a great friend to all of us at the museum. The entire Board of Directors send their condolences.
