Many of you Wisconsin/Milwaukee Area Peeps are
VERY familiar with the Bartolotta family. Many have witnessed the spectacular display they hold each year on the Lakefront, Festa Italiana, or any of the smaller festivals in the area.
Sad news...the Bartolotta factory just had an explosion. The factory is not too far my office and VERY close to where my parent's live. My mom (NAN on this board) is great friends and works with one of the Bartolotta's. She lost a brother-in-law in an explosion in 1991.
I ask that you keep the Bartolotta family and their co-workers in your prayers. Early reports have Flight for Life on the scene with an unknown number of workers injured.
