Joseph (Joe) Di Salvia gave hi s classification talk last week. Joe was born in Italy and, he claims the whole Italian speaking population to be part of his extended family.
He highlighted the accomplishments of his many ancestors, like Julius Caesar, the founders of the Roman Catholic Church, Michelangelo, the branch of his family who were sailors and explorers like Christopher Columbus and Americo Vespucci.. He is also very proud of the American branch of his family, which includes names like uncle Lucky Luciano and cousins Al Capone and John Gotti.

Joe started his own career in Montreal with the Bank of Nova Scotia and has worked in Credit. In 1985 he was offered to buy a printing company, which he did, though not all that familiar with the business at the time.

The art of printing originates in China and there are samples of it dating back to 220 A.D. It was further perfected in Europe in the 1400's in Germany and The Netherlands. Annually 50 trillion pages are printed in North America, and Joe's company has a fair share of that. Every 4 to 5 years his company updates its equipment in order to stay competitive.
