  • Good stuff.
    You might want to go over the subtitles with someone for corrections.
    Otherwise, it's a sweet short.

  • You have done a very nice job on what you know is available for Felix Pedro.

    You have left out some important facts of his life.

    He married Mary Ellen Doran in Fairbanks after his return from Italy and being turned down for marriage.

    He died soon after their marriage from natural causes in 1910.

    I have heard talk of the family saying Mary poisoned him to death with green potatoes. I have also heard said he died of a broken heart from his love of Mary but Mary died many years after him.

    I have read of many degrading words of Mary from his Italian relatives. I have a hard time believing all of the bad things said about Mary from his relatives when none of then knew her and it is not documented in any Alaskan records for history and is all hear say.
