Joseph J. Casale was 40 years old at the time he wrote his diary in 1997. The Social Security death index shows a Joseph J.
Casale (1957-2008) of Daytona Beach, Volusia, Florida. Since the diary was purchased from a dealer in the same city, it is
very likely that Joseph J. Casale (1957-2008) of Daytona Beach is the author of the diary.
