Barry Donadio

This is an investigative report of the family history of the Donadio family from Potenza, Italy. They immigrated to New York City. Ultimately this family interlocked into the Terasino, Cogliano, Laravuso, Sarlo, McMahon and Papsadaro families. All of these are linked through blood or marriage.

It is a mystical story of warfare of that time with interesting characters. An elite force of catholic knights is ordered by the Pope to drive deep into enemy territory as far as modern-day Iran. The knights were the best trained and most discipline that the Vatican had at the time. The knights encounter many dangers along their expedition. The most dangerous group they encounter is a small group of female virgins from the region of Afghanistan. The knights are forced to battle the dammed of Hell, including Satan himself.

Barry Donadio was a 25-year-old Emergency Medical Technician that responded to the TWA Flight 800 Crash. He was a member of the local East Moriches, New York Ambulance that responded to the disaster on that fateful evening. The interesting fact is that Barry Donadio was also employed as a USAF Security Police Officer at the same military base that some circles blame for shooting down the plane (The 106th Rescue Wing at Gabreski ANG Base, Westhampton Beach, NY). He later became a USAF Security Police Investigator at that same unit.
