Passing of Mario Saporito, Casino Pier Carousel
By Andrew Lardieri

I have some very heartbreaking news about the Casino Pier Carousel
in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, which I have visited extensively as
a child and now.  But this news has nothing to do with carousel nor
organ, but rather one of the most famous operators of the 1910 machine,
named "Mario Saporito", who I got to know from visits to this organ and
carousel, has passed away at the age of 87, and will be missed by many.
