11F1.
Joseph "Sonny" Constantino Malugani was born on April 11, 1925, in "rural Calistoga," Sonoma County, California, an area that refers to the hills above Rincon Valley in Santa Rosa, but on the Sonoma side of the county line. Joe married Donna Guglielmetti and had three children:

According to his 1943 draft registration, at the age of 18, Joe was 5' 6" tall, 140 pounds, with brown eyes, brown hair, a ruddy complexion, and a scar on the palm of his left hand.[Draft 1943] The following year, Joe enlisted at the age of 19 as a Private in the U.S. Army on August 17, 1944.[WWII] He and Donna married not long afterward and settled at 4512 Porter Creek Road, adjacent to his father's shale pit, by 1950, and continued to work as a shale pit operator.[Cen 1950]
