Malio J. Cardarelli
began his career as an advertising copywriter for a Utica, New
York radio station after earning his Bachelor of
Science Degree in Public Relations from Utica College of Syracuse
University. He subsequently went on to other writing positions both
in advertising and public relations. In 1962, he left the writing
field to become a personnel consultant, continuing in that endeavor
for more than 30 years.
Immediately after
his retirement, he became reestablished in the arena of journalism,
immersing himself in the
task of researching and chronicling regional people, places, and
happenings he believes worthy of preservation. He does this via
his books and a two-series-a-year local-history column he writes
for
the Utica Observer-Dispatch.
Thus far he has
completed thirteen titles in as many years. The author blends into his
works interesting
and sometimes humorous anecdotes that make reading both pleasurable
and
informative. Nostalgia is the chief ingredient in his writings.
