Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated December 28, 1950 partially reads, "Anthony Palmetto will probably grow up to be a quiz kid. He's still got time to grow up and be a child genius - at 2 1/2 he'd pass for a prodigy, right now. Under the tutelage of his father and mother, Joseph and Jacqueline Palmetto, 10606 Cantara St., Sun Valley, little Tony is already playing with a grownup's toys - words. He can't read yet, but he can pronounce any of them - any that another person pronounces once for him."
