Star-Al Pacino TB

This trackable has the goal to circulate more than five years and to be moved by at least 25 cachers. That is a rate of five drops per year for five years, or a drop every 73 days.  As of 20-Nov-20 it had survived for 5.3 years and had been moved by 13 cachers, for an average release every 150 days.

No permission is needed to leave the U.S.  While in the U.S., please drop it in a Premium Member only OR a rural cache near a busy trail or road. Do not place it in an urban cache or abandon it at a caching event where there is no security.  Transport the bug in the original plastic bag for as long as the bag lasts; the bag keeps the trackable clean, protects the number and prevents tangling with other items.  Otherwise, take the trackable anywhere you wish.

Trackable photos are appreciated, but do not show the tracking code. The photos will re-posted here.

This “Star” series of travel bugs is to bring attention to my favorite movie actors.  Some have awards, some do not.  There is no criterion to be included as a favorite beyond I will watch anything that has her/him in it.

Alfredo James "Al" Pacino is an American actor and filmmaker. He is well known for playing mobsters, especially Michael Corleone in The Godfather films and Tony Montana in Scarface, and often appeared on the other side of the law—as a police officer, a detective and a lawyer.  Pacino won the Academy Award for Best Actor at the 65th Academy Awards for his performance as Frank Slade in Scent of a Woman.  Prior to his win he had received seven Oscar nominations, including one other that same year.

Pacino was born in Manhattan, New York, to Italian-American parents Salvatore Pacino and Rose, who divorced when he was two years old.  His mother moved near the Bronx Zoo to live with her parents, Kate and James Gerardi, who, coincidentally, had come from a town in Sicily named Corleone. 

In his teen years "Sonny", as he was known to his friends, aimed to become a baseball player.  He dropped out of school at age 17.  He worked at low-paying jobs, messenger, busboy, janitor, and postal clerk, to finance his acting studies.  My personal favorite movies are The Godfather: Part II (1974), Frankie and Johnny (1991) and Heat (1995).
