"Expert"?! I'm flattered...but I do try, thank you for the compliment.
No relation. The story goes like this. In 1967 my mom remarried a man
named John Veglia. I was already a car junkie as a kid (I was 9 at the
time) and knew that the last name appeared on the instruments of many
Italian cars of the era so I took hold of it and became a wannabe
Italian ever since <g>. (Scary part is, I actually have owned a small
handful of Fiats in years past.)
