About Me

I am married and work at a public library in the vicinity of Dayton, Ohio. We have two sons, one of whom this web page is dedicated to - our son, Aaron, who has just returned safely after serving with the U.S. Army for more than 400 days in Iraq. He left us last October, and as you can imagine, we missed him terribly. We are now celebrating his return along with our other son, Josh, who is a musician and a college student. We also have an Italian daughter (of sorts). Arianna is from Torino, Italy, where she is now with her family, completing her last year of liceo (Italian high school). Italy is also our second home as we were privileged to have raised our children there. VIVA ITALIA!

Sono sposata e lavoro in una biblioteca pubblica vicino a Dayton, in Ohio. Abbiamo due figli, ad uno di questi ho dedicato la mia web page - Aaron che è appena ritornato sano e salvo dall'Iraq, dopo aver servito l' U.S Army per più di 400 giorni. Aaron è partito lo scorso ottobre e, come potete immaginare, ci è mancato terribilmente. In questo periodo stiamo festaggiando il suo ritorno, insieme al nostro altro figlio Josh, che è un musicista e uno studente universitario. Abbiamo inoltre una "figlia" italiana. Arianna è di Torino, in Italia, dove adesso è con la sua famiglia e sta finendo il suo ultimo anno di Liceo . L' Italia è inoltre la nostra seconda casa, siccome abbiamo avuto il privilegio di crescere lì i nostri figli. VIVA ITALIA!!
