When Albert and I landed on Italian soil, that September, 1994, we felt something emotional, as if we answered a call to come to Italy.
It was as if we were telling Mom and Pop that we were proud of our heritage, and we wanted to meet the families, and to see the places and things they often talked about.

Not only did we get to know our Italian cousins and enjoy their wonderful hospitality, but we actually saw the famous "CHESS GAME" that we heard so much about when we were children.
We also visited the little town of Lamon, where Mom was born.
Now that we have seen these places, we are hearing that call again. God willing, we will answer it in 1998.
