Say hello to Al Napoletano, who lived in the independent cottages but recently joined us in the lodge here at Wiley Creek Community! You’ll also notice Al’s beautiful framed drawings around the building.

Al was born April 23, 1920, in San Francisco, Calif., to Atillo and Catherine Napoletano. Atillo, from Naples, Italy, was a machinist and Catherine managed the home.
