Here's a story I did for Sports Collectors Daily about this photograph of Joe DiMaggio with his 5-year-old nephew, also named Joe DiMaggio. The younger Joe was the first child of Joltin' Joe's older brother, Mike.

Bob, my entire life my mom told us of Alan Dimaggio a nephew of Joe staying with them. It wasnt until I was older that I knew who she was speaking of. My Aunt Violet Gay was Alans fiance. I now tell my children this history. History is so important to remember. I will be writing a piece on it in our family history newsletter.

I still have copies of the colored photos I had taken for Joe when he played golf at the Celebrity Pro-Am the Wednesday before the Buick Classic was played at Westchester Country Club. . Sincerely, Ralph Pisani

I'm looking for an old friend of mine named Dominic DiMaggio (nephew of Joe DiMaggio) born around 1957. Do you have any connections to such a person? I'd love to find him.

Re the story about "Joe DiMaggio and his 5 year-old nephew"on 6/11/2016; do you know if "Little Joe", as he was known by some of his associates in the U S Army at the time of my association with him, is still awakening each morning? I was his room -mate from approx.Nov 1953-Jan 1954, when he returned to the States and I replaced him as a regimental mail clerk, thus I can truthfully say "I was Joe DiMaggio's room-mate one year and the next year, I was his replacement." Joe was a good friend to me(and everyone else) and was very helpful to an ignorant recruit.

I still have the copies of the photos in color I had taken of Joe DiMaggio playing golf at Westchester Country Club. I had given Joe original photos. I still remember sending you black & white copies of them.

I took photos of Joe playing golf for him at Westchester Country Club and still have copies of them. I would love to show them to you, and everybody! They are in color. At that time I was given free tickets to go watch and take his photos.

Over a year ago I had sent copies of Joe Playing golf to his nephew. He was disappointed that they were not in color as the ones I have. He then asked for the original colored photos of Joe. I didn't ! I will always keep them for myself. I had first given Joe the original ones I took of him.

I had given Bob D'Angelo copies of the photos I took of his Uncle Joe DiMaggio playing golf that I taken for Joe many years before. He was upset that they were not the colored ones I had kept for myself. I would love to show them all his fans! .

I've kept copies of the colored photos I had taken for Joe photos of him playing golf at the Celebrity Pro Am at Westchester Country Club during the Buick Classic. A few years ago I sent uncolored copies to Joe's nephew. He then wanted the original colored ones I held on all these years. I would love to show them all to Joe's fans!
