Looking for documentary materials…

A fellow Dunmorean is looking for some help.

Liz Naro is in the midst of creating a documentary about her cousin, Ross Cordaro. For those of you who don’t know his story:

Ross was injured on February 14, 1974 in a wrestling accident. His family was told to prepare for the worst and that he may never walk again. On Thanksgiving of 1974 at the Dunmore vs. West Scranton game, Ross walked center field in front of family, fans, friends and the community.

Local news outlets covered Ross’s story throughout 1974. Liz is looking for film footage, pictures, stories and possible people to interview for her documentary project.

If you have, or know someone who has, taped news coverage on home video or pictures, please contact Liz Naro via e-mail at lizabethnaro@gmail.com.
