Manteo Update
With thanks to Nancy Staub I was recently in touch with the Manteo family.
They are in Staten Island. Sending Stephen Kaplin contact off list

For a time the Manteo marionettes were at a museum in Staten Island, but the 
marionettes did  not stay there. The family reclaimed them.


There was an excellent episode of  "Between the Lions" devoted to Sicilian 
marionettes.
I think Tim Lagasse and Jim Napolitano worked on the episode working along 
with Sal Macri

Sal Macri lives in New Haven CT (is that considered NYC neighborhood?)

Sal at one time was part of Macri-Weil company (seen at PofA fest way back 
in 1970)

There was a parting of the ways

Jim Weil has a collection of about 50 figures  at the "Puppet House Theater" 
in Stony Creek, CT (right next to Branford CT)
