PROGRAMS:
The Prohibition Era was the bloodiest period in Cleveland History. Try to keep track of the mob hits as rival gangs brutally battle to control the city’s rackets.

Growing Up Cleveland:
Barnaby, Captain Penny & Ghoulardi
All of the proceeds of Dennis’ s Lost Cleveland programs will be used to fund the work of the A-T Children’s Project.
Dennis and his wife, Mary, have five beautiful grandchildren. Two of their grandsons (Dylan and Sean) have been diagnosed with ataxia-telangiectasia, more commonly known as A-T.
A-T is an extremely rare, genetic disease. A-T causes progressive loss of muscle control, immune system problems and a high rate of cancer. Sean is already a cancer survivor. He was treated for B-cell lymphoma when he was 2 years old.
Because A-T is so rare, it gets little attention and even less funding. The A-T Children’s Project (atcp.org) was started to raise funds for research and life improving therapies for children with A-T.
