We are back in the USA for just a few days when Mattia Simioni writes me from Greece where he is working for the summer. He is from Rick's father's hometown of Castelfranco Veneto.
He tells me this story: At his hotel a girl checks in who ends up working with him. Her last name is Simioni too so they start up a conversation. She live about 2 hours from his town. She happens to mention that she had recently met some Simionis from the USA who came to visit.
He replies: You don't mean Nancy & Rick Simioni do you??? She says "YES!!!" And he tells her how we had just visited HIS family!
In Greece! It IS a small world after all!
