ITALY'S DAY OF MOURNING...

THIS EASTER SEEMS SAD AND VERY HOPELESS TO ME AS WE HAVE LOST A LARGE PIECE OF OUR ITALIAN SOUL AND SO MUCH HUMAN SUFFERING IN A PART OF ITALY THAT WAS SO PRISTINE AND GENUINE: I REMEMBER TAKING A ONE-CAR TRAIN TO VAL DI SANGRO (THE VALLEY OF BLOOD) AND MEETING ITALIANS WITH LOVE IN THEIR HEARTS AS THEIR LIVES WERE SO SIMPLE AND PURE. TODAY, THEY ARE SAVOURING EACH AND EVERY BREATH FROM INSIDE A BLUE PLASTIC TENT. ABRUZZI, WE ARE PRYING FOR YOU...Wayne.

NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD PEOPLE TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR COUNTRY!
