To Nicole, one of the Immortal Nine: We missed your optimism and obvious love and understanding of the Italian culture in our class. We hope you return. Continue to run!

This was a sketch of Palazzo Alberti (my home!!) from Via XX Settembre by Marueen Banker. She gave all 9 girls original sketches of the building. The one given to me was done in May, 1999. I am honored to be apart of a program with so much history. I became teary eyed today as I read the guest book. Thanks Marueen and Jim Banker for finding Sansepolcro and making it our home in Italy!
