Dominic Lanni, 13, couldn't think of anything scarier than breast cancer, a disease
that affected two friends of his mother, Liz Lanni of Commerce Township. So that's
what the student at Walnut Creek Middle School dressed up as for Halloween.
His makeup was done by Stacy Wells of aspirit Salon. Dominic, whose great-
grandparents are Holocaust survivors, got some literature about breast cancer from
the Karmanos Cancer Center, which he handed out during trick or treating.
