Original Toronto Star caption: Together again; Eda Smith Drogo says she spent thousands of dollars in air fares to get her 3-year-old son; Joey; back from a sister-in-law in Sicily who'd won temporary custody of the boy last fall when Drogo and her husband were seperated. Sicilian police have accused her of kidnapping Joey; but Drogo and the boy are back in Toronto through the help of Canadian authorities who didn?t know of the custody battle and lent them money to fly home.
