Nathan Morris, nee Umberto Ciavolino, arrived in America from Naples, Italy in January of 1903.  He worked hard returning to his home town of Torre del Greco from time to time to purchase cameos for his jewelry business.  He appreciated the value of things.  He instilled these values in his son, Ed, who in turn, instilled them in his son, Bruce.
