SON GOES THE EXTRA MILE
When he was an adolescent in Watertown, New York City, Murray Pfaff tried to buy lots of classic cars for the necessity of some TLC. Every time, his father, Eugene Pfaff, dispirited him from taking up such projects so that he could concentrate well on his school works.
His father who is ninety two years old who lives in Naples said that his son attempted to purchase an old Cadillac when he was in high school. Eugene Pfaff said that he got furious and asked him to buy it only after he dies.

Millionaie saves La Scala
Luxury shoemaker Tod's pledged 5.2 million euros (£4.6 million) on Thursday to fund Milan's La Scala opera house and urged others in the private sector to come to the rescue of Italy's cash-starved cultural treasures.
Earlier this year, Tod's put 25 million euros on the table to fund the restoration of Rome's Colosseum.
Its chief executive said on Thursday he was trying to get other Italian businessmen together to fund the country's cultural heritage, whose funding is diminished in the age of fiscal austerity ushered in by a global financial crisis.
Author: Pompeii needs Balance
A bestselling author on Pompeii, Italy, says the collapse of a ruin illustrates the need for balance between preservation and allowing visitors at such sites.
Robert Harris, author of the 2003 bestseller, "Pompeii," said he was not surprised at Saturday's collapse of the 2,000-year-old gladiator school, in light of the number of people visiting the UNESCO world Heritage site and the lack of funding provided to preserve it, ANSA reported Monday.
"We are faced with a paradox: the more people visit Pompeii, the more Pompeii is destroyed," Harris said.
Panic over 'House of the Gladiator'
Pompeii mayor Claudio D'Alessio does not want to go down in history linked with Pliny the Younger, the Roman who chronicled the destruction of the ancient city nearly 2,000 ago in an eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
"The city is suffering and losing its pieces," said D'Alessio as he stood near the Via dell' Abbondanza, the main street leading from the columns of the Forum in the ancient city that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
