A Tale of Two Thieves, Well Many Thieves

Lara:

Hi everyone! We are back with our favorite topic!

Nina:

Bank robberies, armored truck heists and colorful characters!

Lara: 

1969 saw Jack “Red” Kelley turn State’s evidence, Mello Merlino sent off to prison, Sonny Diaferio in and out of court and jail, Roy Appleton retired, Pro Lerner sentenced to life in prison, Tommy Richards and Billie Aggie forever MIA and dad moving on from armed robbery, but not from a life of crime. 

Nina:

The end of an era. Hobart Willis, Bobby Guarante, Ben Tilley and many of the usual suspects were out of action. Phil Cresta was on the lam in Chicago and also out of commission. But his brother Billy will be making a brief reappearance in this episode. However, there was no shortage of thieves in Boston. You had the Charlestown guys, Southie crews and Somerville boys left to fill the void left by the departure of the old guard. 

We’re going to be bringing back a few familiar names from last season as well as traveling a little bit outside of Massachusetts in this episode, but there is a reason!

Lara:

There’s always a reason for you to take us down a rabbit hole!

Nina:

Well one rabbit hole we won’t be going down is the story behind the first bank robbery of 1970.

Lara:

No, we definitely will not be covering the story of William Gilday! 

So what is the first robbery we are covering?

Nina:

Well it’s not a what, but rather a who. Since our last regular episode was about Joseph JR Russo, I think we should start with his aunt’s brother-in-law: Croce “Charlie” Centofanti. I just had to get that relationship in there. 

Lara:

Let me guess, we’re going to have to go back in time to give Charlie’s history?

Nina:

I know, I know we’re supposed to be in the ‘70s, but I’ll make it quick. I SWEAR!

Lara:

I surrender! Tell us about Charlie Centofanti.

Nina:

Born in New Haven in 1918, Charlie was the oldest of three boys. His father had died in what was ruled an accident in NY when Charlie was only three, and the family moved to Boston shortly thereafter. Charlie had a record dating back to the 1920s when he was still a juvie. But his first adult conviction was in 1934 at the age of 16 on a b&e charge. He and two other boys had broken into the apartment of a woman who lived in his building and stolen jewelry. At the hearing the boys tried to escape, but soon found themselves trapped in the courthouse basement. They were herded back upstairs to face additional charges of malicious destruction of property and fleeing.

Over the course of his criminal career Charlie had been convicted of breaking and entering, larceny, armed robbery, auto theft, robbery, carrying a gun, and escaping from a penal institution. 

In 1955 he was captured after a shootout with the police in East Boston. His partner was killed, and he wounded two cops. He was sentenced to 18-25 years for armed robbery and assault with a dangerous weapon with intent to murder.

Lara:

Charlie’s nickname was the Pig and he did his best to live up to it. In December of  1957, the Boston Globe reported that Charlie had been admitted to the prison hospital at Walpole after complaining about stomach pains. The prison warden dismissed rumors that he’d been poisoned, stating, “It was probably from overeating”.

Nina:

Keep your wisecracks to yourself. I don’t want to get slammed for giggling again!

Lara:

What was the comparison? Andre the Giant and Barbies or something along those lines.

Nina:

Enough of that!

The following August Charlie made a bid to escape through an air duct, but he didn’t get far. He’d made too much noise and a guard caught on, catching him in the act.

Not to fret, Charlie was eventually paroled and found himself back on the streets. 

Lara:

In mid-August of 1967, another victim of the gang war was found in a field off the Mystic Valley Parkway in Medford. An ex-con named Frederick Young had been shot behind the left ear and base of the skull with either a .32 or a .38. Young had been paroled the previous year, but the rumor was that he was in debt to loan sharks. 

Charlie was arrested the following month on murder charges. Charlie and Frederick had hooked up in Walpole, and the authorities alleged that the motive was due to a "falling out over money". 

Nina:

Attorney Al Farese was appointed to represent Charlie as a public defender. He argued that his client had a bad heart, and that he should be released on bail. But the judge rejected Farese’s plea.

In mid-October, Charlie pleaded innocent to the charges and was sent for 35 days of psychiatric observation at Al’s request. 

While he was awaiting trial, Farese’s partner, John Fitzgerald, had his leg blown off outside their office in Everett. 

Lara:

We keep coming back to that damn car bombing. We can’t escape from it. And Farese was perfectly willing to use it as an excuse to get out of the trial! 

You know, I have this fantasy that we’ll escape from the 60s someday…

Nina:

Good luck with that!

Farese also tried to claim that he was worried that his client’s chances of a fair trial had been damaged by Fitzgerald’s situation. But the prosecution argued that they had two witnesses in protective custody and didn’t want any more delays. So Farese was stuck with representing Charlie.

At the trial, the prosecution’s main witness, Edward Grady, testified that he had been present when Charlie murdered Young. He claimed that the three of them had been together in a nightclub in Revere, and left to go pick up Grady’s girlfriend. When she wasn’t there, they sat in the car talking, but at some point, Grady said, “some checks fell out from under the dashboard of the car”. He replaced them and they continued talking. Young was in the driver’s seat, and Charlie was sitting behind him. As Grady, who was sitting next to Young, reached over to turn off the radio, “there was a bang and a flash from the rear seat and I heard Charlie say “you did it once but you won’t do it again”. 

Centofanti wrapped his arm around Young, as he begged, “Please… please don’t”. Then he got out of the car and fell to the ground, and the two men left their victim there. 

Lara:

Despite Farese’s claims of being unable to defend Centofanti as he deserved, the jury found Charlie innocent in early March after six hours of deliberation. Farese had found witnesses who alleged that it was in fact Grady who had killed Young and not Charlie. But Farese’s client was not free to go, and instead was held on a parole violation.

Charlie did regain his freedom. But he was arrested again in October  of 1970. An hour after Charlie and his partner stole a safe in Chelsea the two were scooped up. A search of the men’s vehicle uncovered all the paraphernalia the pair had used to snag the safe. After failing to open it, the pair dumped the safe in a nearby lot and it was promptly recovered by the police.

Nina:

And that leads us to Charlie’s last stand and the first bank robbery of this episode!

In January the following year Charlie was shot between the eyes and killed in the middle of a robbery attempt in Malden. The police said that they’d been tipped off beforehand and stationed a patrolman in the back room. The cop said that he saw two men at the teller’s window and heard one of the men say, “give me your money.”

The cop fired through the teller’s window as she hit the alarm and called for backup. Charlie ran out the door, grabbed a car and sped off toward Somerville where the cops forced him to stop. At that point, he jumped out of the stolen vehicle, and when he went for his gun, the cops shot him. 

Charlie’s partner, meanwhile, had been hit in the hand, but managed to get another teller to put money in a bag for him. He fled on foot, and rang the doorbell of a neighboring apartment. He asked the residents to call him a cab, and when he left, the cops nabbed him. 

Lara:

Another criminal mastermind.

Keeping with the who not what theme, let’s move on to Atlanta born but South Boston raised, Gustavus Carmichael. Unlike Nina’s tale about Charlie, I’m going to skip Gustavus’ pedigree and jump straight into his life of crime. BUT I am going to dip my toes into the 1960s just for a moment. In October of 1968, Gustavus along with Roger Brown and William Royce were held on $100,000 bail on charges of robbing a bank in Brockton’s East Side of $18,000 the day before. For those that listened to our bonus episode about Frankie Salemme, you might remember that William Royce was the inmate who shot two prison guards at Norfolk who Frankie helped save and later received a commendation from Governor Dukakis.

Nina:

That was not Royce’s first escape attempt. In March of 1969 he, Gustavus and Brown escaped from Plymouth together. Royce was pinched five days later in Saugus and Gustavus and Brown made it all the way to Nevada before being caught.

In October of 1970, Brown and Carmichael made a run for it again, this time overpowering Federal Marshals while being transported and taking off with one of their sidearms. They were serving time at Walpole for the Brockton robbery, but were still facing charges for a $100,000 Hartford, CT bank robbery in 1968. 

Lara:

In late November they sent a greeting card to the Deputy Superintendent at Walpole.

Brown’s leg of the road trip came to an end on January 20, 1971 in New Hampshire after his girlfriend dumped him and reported his location to the Feds, but Gustavus was nowhere to be found. And in another case of “he would have been better off in jail” Gustavus was found dead in a Connecticut swamp in May of 1974. 

Nina:

Gustavus’ story doesn’t end there, however, so let’s jump back to 1971 and fill in some holes with some familiar names.

On April 26th, 1971 $66,000 was stolen by two gunmen as a guard was making his delivery to the Department of Employment Security in Providence. Just days later, warrants were issued for two men: Billy Cresta, who had been acquitted just three months earlier in the 1968 Brinks trial, and John Gary Robichaud, who had previously been charged with killing Frank “Dogie Murray” in December 1963. But that charge was eventually dropped for lack of evidence in 1968, while Robichaud was still in prison at Walpole for armed robbery and assault. And like so many gangland slayings in Rhode Island, Murray’s murder was never solved.

Lara:

Billy Cresta turned himself in a few weeks later, followed by Robichaud a few weeks after that. 

Robichaud was released on bail, but didn’t stay out of trouble. In September he assaulted a Ford executive from Detroit who was in Boston on a business trip. William Woodhead was scheduled to testify against Robichaud the following February, but Robichaud failed to show up for his own trial. Instead he was in Detroit setting up a car bomb at his victim’s house. The bomb went off when the man’s wife started the vehicle. Mrs. Woodhead succumbed to her injuries the following week. 

Nina:

Awful! In the meantime, the holdup trial of Billy Cresta was set to begin but Robichaud was still on the lam. 

The cops finally caught up with Robichaud in Pawtucket at the end of May. He was armed but surrendered peacefully. A medical examination showed that Robichaud had been recently injured, with bullets still lodged in his hand and upper chest. He also had wounds in four other places from bullets that had been removed. But Robichaud apparently refused to tell the authorities what had happened. Another familiar character, Ralph DeMasi, was arrested with Robichaud and charged with harboring a fugitive. 

In July Robichaud and his wife were found guilty of robbery and conspiracy to rob. The sentencing was postponed pending appeal, but he was eventually given five to seven years and sent to the ACI in Cranston. However, just two short months later, Robichaud escaped along with three other men by sawing their way out. The other escapees managed to stay AWOL for over a year, but Robichaud wasn’t so lucky. Just five days after his escape, his body was found by a construction worker near a jobsite in Somerville.

Lara:

The medical examiner said Robichaud had been shot six times; once in the left temple with a .38 and five times in the chest with a .32. The slug from the .38 was found in an abandoned car in Medford, about three miles away from where the body had been found. The vehicle, which was covered in bloodstains, had been stolen the previous month in Boston. 

The Middlesex County DA claimed that Robichaud had escaped from prison in order to carry out a hit in Massachusetts, but instead had found himself killed by those very same people. Robichaud had help on the outside, the DA alleged. 

“I have evidence that there is an underworld power struggle in this area, and there is no question that Robichaud was sent here to settle underworld matters, but instead they got to him first.”

Nina:

But Rhode Island State Police Colonel Walter Stone had a different theory. He claimed that Robichaud had attracted too much police attention and had been killed to “relieve the heat” he’d brought on the other wiseguys. 

Robichaud’s body was identified by his wife, who according to later reports was the ex-wife of Billy O’Brien. The same Billy O’Brien who was killed by Johnny Martorano almost exactly six months later. 

Robichaud was still facing murder charges for the death of the woman in Detroit at the time of his death.

Lara:

What an incestuous lot.

Two more murder victims were found on the grounds of the Butler Hospital in Rhode Island on the same day that Robichaud’s body was discovered in Somerville. The men had been handcuffed and shot in the head. They were identified as Norman Bailey and Paul LaVoie, both of Weymouth. Norman Bailey was identified as a Federal Informant involved in heroin trafficking, but the cops claimed that they couldn’t find any link between the two men and Robichaud. Later in November, an indictment was handed down against an ex-con named Donald Brant, who had been running a halfway house in Rhode Island. Brant would later face murder charges in the death of Gustavous Carmichael.

Nina:

So that’s four linked murders: Robichaud, Bailey, LaVoie, and Carmichael.

Billy Cresta was found guilty in the April 1971 DES robbery trial in July 1973. But the following year, a woman named Joanne DeFreitas came forward and swore out an affidavit saying she had taken part in the robbery conspiracy and that Cresta was not actually guilty. A lie detector test showed that she was telling the truth, and Billy was released on bail. At the same time, Joanne DeFreitas also confessed that her common law husband, Richard DeFreitas, and Donald Brant had murdered Gustavous Carmichael and his still unidentified girlfriend. 

In October of 1974 a news writer at WCVB in Boston was charged with conspiracy to commit robbery, being an accessory before the fact, and larceny for taking a 10% cut of the proceeds. Billy Kelley and Donald Brant were named as the two men who had committed the DES robbery.

Lara:

The same Billy Kelley who is still sitting in prison for the Charles Von Maxcy slaying?

Nina:

Yes, the very same Kelley.

Now let’s back up a little bit on the timeline to February 1974 when an armored car was robbed of nearly $600,000 in cash and checks just after making its last pickup in Somerset. MA at about 7:30 on a Saturday evening. As the guard approached the armored car to put his pick-up inside, three masked men armed with a machine gun, a sawed off shotgun, and a revolver jumped out of a green van parked about 15 feet away. They kidnapped the guard and driver, and drove the armored car about a mile before unloading the loot into a waiting green Ford sedan and abandoning the two unharmed victims along with the armored car. 

Lara:

The m o was very Jack-like. The stolen van had two license plates welded together, the men all wore masks, gloves, and their outfits were made to appear like police uniforms, but it doesn’t seem like they actually were. The State Police called it very well-planned and carefully executed. 

Nina:

The stolen loot was insured by Lloyds of London. I had to get that in here. Did I mention I have a little obsession with insurance? 

Lara:

Yes, I’m painfully aware of that!

Nina:

Relax!

The authorities had few leads and it seemed like they weren’t going to get anywhere on this one. 

In the meantime, 200 Brinks guards and drivers went on strike. Former FBI SA Raymond Ball, who was now working for New England Merchants National Bank, downplayed the situation and called it a “temporary inconvenience”.

In March, the stolen checks were discovered by a group of teenagers who came across garbage bags floating in the Sudbury reservoir. They called the police when they realized what the contents were. The police took the loot as evidence but expressed no interest in the crime scene. So the kids had to go back to the reservoir and get the rest of it for them!

When it was finally determined that the loot was from the Somerset robbery, the teens were rewarded with the $10,000 offered by the insurance company for its recovery.

Lara:

One good deed at least. 

Since we’re in 1974, let’s discuss when Joann DeFreitas made her big confession to the authorities in May of that year.

Nina:

In addition to fingering Billy Kelley, and Donald Brant, DeFreitas appears to have also fingered Eddie Connors, Robert W. Adams, and Edward Gabree. 

Connors, Adams and Gabree were all arrested in simultaneous raids early in the morning of May 16th. The authorities found and confiscated seven walkie-talkies, and a radio base station. At least one of the units was tuned to the Boston Police Department channel covering Dorchester. In addition, they discovered four guns, a small tv camera and monitor, stocking masks, rubber gloves, workmen's coveralls, equipment to tap phone lines, tape recorders, heavy duty drills, burning equipment, window washer’s safety belts, hard hats, and road maps.

Lara:

What no partridge in a pear tree?

Anyhow the really crazy thing was that the cops had previously caught Adams, Gabree, and Kelley in July of ‘72 with similar radio equipment!

The quartet pleaded innocent at their arraignment and bail was set at $100,000 each. Billy Kelley surrendered at the Bristol County Court House accompanied by his attorney after negotiating for bail to be reduced to $50K. After his arraignment, the judge reduced the bail she’d set for Adams and Gabree to $75K and $50K. Eddie Connors had already posted his $100K and went to a Boston Bruins hockey game.

Nina:

The authorities claimed that the arrests were the result of a three month investigation. But given the timing, I doubt they’d have gotten the indictments if Joann DeFreitas hadn’t given them a lot of help.

Eddie Connors was killed in Dorchester the following June by Howie Winters, as many of our listeners probably know. He was still out on bail awaiting trial and the story goes that he’d made a deal to turn State's evidence. You have to figure Howie was tipped off about Eddie’s plan.

Lara:

I agree that someone gave Howie a heads up. We’ll get more into Eddie and his murder in our upcoming hit parade episode.

In the meantime, Billy Kelley surrendered himself to the State Police at Exit 18 of the Massachusetts Turnpike just a few days later on the then still outstanding April 1971 charges. 

Of course the authorities were very self-congratulatory about this, but it seems pretty obvious that Kelley turned himself in because he was afraid he’d be Howie’s next victim. 

Nina:

No doubt about that.

Adams was sentenced to life in prison the following March. Gabree and Kelley were still awaiting trial and it’s unclear what the outcome in those cases was. Gabree got picked up in the 80s as part of a multi-state drug raid. As for Kelley, there will be more to come from him later in the season.

Moving on! I know this is a little bit outside of our normal geography, but I do want to reprise Teddy Green’s old partner in crime, David Jacobanis. And that reminds me, we need to do a Teddy Green bonus episode. 

Lara:

Teddy, another one of our favorite escape artists. If anyone wants to hear more about him listen to our Thanksgiving bonus episode from 2021. Jacobanis was quite the character and also deserves a short bonus episode.

Nina:

Totally, but I’m not sure about short considering how long winded we tend to be. 

Lara:

At least our listeners can hit the pause button, but heaven help our friends and loved ones!

Nina:

Come on! We’re not that bad!

Lara:

Yeah, we are!

Nina:

Anyhow, by the early 1970s Jacobanis had moved on to New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In July 1970, he was captured in New Jersey immediately after robbing a Savings and Loan bank of $4200. The Feds theorized that Jacobanis might be the “Band-Aid Bandit” who had been robbing banks along the Eastern Seaboard. They called him the Band-Aid Bandit because he wore a jersey face mask and a band-aid on his cheek.

Lara:

I’ve heard it all now!

Nina:

Here’s how the Band-Aid bandit operated. He would loiter outside the bank until there were few or no customers inside. Upon entering the bank he would threaten the tellers at gunpoint. 

Jacobanis was not wearing a band-aid but the mask and his actions were the same in this job. 

Lara:

The newspaper noted: “Though nearing 60, Jacobanis was described as a muscular, well-built man who is extremely agile.” In other words, a savage, and I mean that as a compliment.

Nina:

Jacobanis was one of those men who was truly born in the wrong century. A Viking raider trapped in modernity. You can tell just by looking at him that he was never going to slow down.

He was indicted the following month while in pre-trial detention in Federal custody in New York.

In January the next year, Jacobanis and several South American drug smugglers escaped by cutting a hole in the ventilator shaft and lowered themselves from the third floor of the prison onto the roof of an abandoned warehouse next door, using ropes made from bed sheets. Their escape was discovered as another prisoner was also attempting to flee. 

Lara:

In June, Jacobanis was suspected of robbing another bank in New Jersey of over $15 grand, but once again he managed to slip away. He stayed off the radar until December 1974 when he was arrested after robbing a market in Pennsylvania of over $35,000. He’d hooked up with a partner named Dillon, who the authorities thought was from Kentucky. The two men refused to identify themselves when they were stopped at a roadblock, and the police were forced to issue John Doe warrants. Dillon had attempted to escape by jumping over the guardrails, running down an embankment in waist deep snow and plunging into the creek. The cops had to fish him out. Another great Netflix scene. Jacobanis finally surrendered when the police chief pulled his pistol and pointed it at him. 

Nina:

A .22 caliber pistol and the money they’d just stolen were found in the car, along with some trading stamps. The two men were arraigned and held on $40K bail which they couldn’t pay. The story seems to die there, but Jacobanis ended up moving to the Oklahoma panhandle in 1979 and passed away there in 1985. It seems highly unlikely that he just stopped, though. So I’ll just tease Teddy Green again here and speculate that it is entirely possible that Jacobanis and Teddy hooked up again. 

Lara:

A dream team of sorts or at least a duo!

Ok, last story for today. This one is also a bit outside of our normal geography since we’re going to the Berkshires. But the name should be familiar for our regular listeners: Red Halliday. 

Just a little before noon on Monday June 25, 1979, the Berkshire Bank & Trust in Pittsfield was robbed by three men wearing navy windbreakers, ski masks, and armed with automatic pistols. The heist took place shortly before the armored car was scheduled to arrive to pick up the weekend deposits. With a score of nearly $250,000, it was the largest bank robbery in the county’s history. It was also the 4th heist in the area in a 6 month period. 

Nina:

The three men escaped in a getaway car driven by a fourth man, and then parted ways a short distance away, each in their own vehicles. The now abandoned getaway car had been stolen from an airport in Albany about 10 days earlier. 

This bank also had cameras but the police wouldn’t say if they got a clear shot of any of the thieves. 

Lara:

In Jack Kelley’s day, at least he didn’t have to worry about surveillance cameras, but certainly he kept an eye out for other types of surveillance when staking out a heist.  

Nina:

I also wonder if being closer to New York made a difference? We’re a decade ahead now so the tech was a little more advanced and less expensive. But remember how there were cameras mentioned in some of the Devlin jobs that took place in Connecticut too. We’ll be covering Eddie Devlin later in the season before we get into the murder of Billie Grasso in 1989.

Lara:

Any excuse to take us back to the ‘60s.

Nina:

I’m just going to ignore you!

Back to the Red Halliday tale. The following Monday, the police announced that they’d gotten a warrant for a suspect named Spero Laberis, who had been AWOL since being sentenced to 15 years in July 1976 for a $67,000 heist he’d pulled off in November 1969.

Lara:

They also named Kenneth Ray Wightman, who had recently escaped from Walpole by hiding in the trunk of the prison chaplain’s car. Another ex-con named Ralph Petroziello was also charged. He’d been out on parole when he was picked up loitering near a bank in Newton. But he’d been released on bail and fled. And a third man, Michael Donahue, was arrested in Quincy in late July. He was convicted and sentenced the following year to life in prison. 

In August of 1979, Red Halliday and his wife, Linda, were charged with being accessories after the fact for harboring a fugitive, meaning Wightman. Halliday had been out on parole at the time of the heist, but returned to prison in July for associating with suspected bank robbers. The authorities alleged that Halliday and his wife had been involved with the thieves both before and after the heist in Pittsfield. Linda Halliday was released on $500 bail.

Nina:

The Brockton Savings Bank was robbed by two men with sawed-off shotguns in early October of that year. They escaped with $110,000 in a red Ford Mustang, which they abandoned a short ways away. The two men, believed to be Wightman and Petroziello, were stopped in New Hampshire for a traffic violation, but let go after the pair convinced the cop that they were also cops working on a drug investigation.

Ralph Petroziello was eventually captured in August 1983 at a telephone booth in Huron, Ohio, which the authorities said he used regularly to phone home. A search of his apartment gave them Wightman’s location just ten miles away. 

Petroziello was found not guilty the following year after his attorney showed proof that the cops had lost evidence in the case. In January 1986, the State Supreme Court ruled that Donahue deserved a new trial since the prosecution had failed to obtain reports from the FBI that could have helped Donahue prove his innocence. But at the retrial in May, Donahue pleaded guilty to armed robbery while masked and was sentenced to 10-12 years.

Lara:

The 65 year old Laberis was caught almost exactly one year later while living in Billerica. Inside his apartment, the authorities found a sawed-off shotgun, a .38 caliber handgun, ammo, a bullet-proof vest, wigs, masks, false beards, and paraphernalia for making keys. Ironically, Laberis had a safe deposit box at a bank in Woburn. Inside was a little under $13,000 in fives, tens, and hundreds, most of them in sequential order. He was never charged, and passed away in 1997. 

Nina:

Laberis also makes me think of Teddy Green. The Greek connection.

Lara:

For sure.

There were so many other heists that took place. The Louis Royce robbery in September of 1970.

Nina:

That’s going to have to wait until we discuss the 1980 Brinks robbery and your dad with the Dalis.

Lara:

Also the November 1971 robbery of the US Trust Co in Mattapan. That was supposedly pulled off by Carmen Tortora, Alfred Iannoco and good old Bruce Trant. Then there was the $280,000 that was taken at Neponset Circle in December of 1972. And four major heists in 1973.

Nina:

And don’t forget the five other bank robberies and two jewelry store stickups between December 1973 and February 1975 that were said to have been pulled off by a Charlestown crew consisting of Albert Titcomb, George Whalen and Frederick Stearns.

Lara:

There was also the Braintree Wells Fargo armored truck heist in June of 1977 of $250K. Too many to squeeze in.

Next week we’ll be back with a hit parade episode. Nina, are we going to do 1974 and 1975 together or separate?

Nina:

In an effort to keep the episodes a little shorter when possible let’s keep them separate, so 1974 which included Ben Tilley, Paul McGonagle, James Sousa and Crazy Clifford Freeman among others.

Lara:

Thanks for listening everybody!

Nina & Lara:

BYE!!!!
