Muboshgu Thanks for the review. I added Living People to the categories. I'm not sure what else to add and finding what categories to use has never been much of a skill of mine.

I have access to images provided personally by John Giordano as he would like to see his page updated with his full bio info. Is there a process to confirm that I have permission to use these images? Thanks in advance for any help.
