However, better to continue to refine the approach rather than give up.

I repeat, sigh.

Especially when you decide you want to do two things at once--don't go into detail in one area, but go into more detail in another.

Ok, that's enough for this morning. Hope you enjoyed it and see you next time!

Mike Balenti married fellow student Cecelia Baronovitch.

George Balenti was on the 1904 baseball team, and he's in the class of 1904 photo held by CCHSCarlislePA

George Balenti, Cheyenne, 1896-1906, cause of departure: 'grad '04' carlisleindian.dickinson.edu/student_files/…

George Balenti also doesn't have a file, just an information card

Mike Balenti:1908 football team; class of 1909 photo; baseball team ca. 1907-1909; photo Industrial Certificates 1909;

Michael Balenti, Cheyenne, 1904-1909, cause of departure: one card says time out, one says he graduated

Michael Balenti doesn't have a file, but does have two cards carlisleindian.dickinson.edu/student_files/… & carlisleindian.dickinson.edu/student_files/…

John Balenti was on the 1908 football team--CCHSCarlislePA has photo, but there's nothing in the file about it

All three of the Balenti young men were athletes, so there are images of them.

John Balenti, Cheyenne, 1907-1910, cause of departure: time out carlisleindian.dickinson.edu/student_files/…

Ah, the Balenti's are up next. Raise your hand if you know that name!

So, for example, I just noticed that William Baldridge is also referred to as William Baldwin in some docs--sent in a note about that

The work I'm doing on the student files is also giving me a chance to help the Dickinson project with quality control--double checking

Therefore I think we can assume that's probably what he did when he didn't return from leave.

Father & son observed there were several acceptable schools near where they lived, so wanted to come home & go to one of those.

Letter back reminds father that Carlisle is an Industrial School--therefore student time divided between learning trade (work) & studies.
