I want to thank you for gathering together in Venice the most delightful selection of kindred spirits. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely. It is not often that I  go somewhere and then am relucant to go home.

​

As Roberta will have told you we thoroughly enjoyed Venice and very much appreciated all you did to make it such a success. For me one of the great highlights was indeed my day in the lagoon in the steps of Hemingway. Quite literally, I saw with my own eyes the scenes which he conjured up so vividly in his writings. For me it was truly memorable.

 

I just want to reiterate the sheer delight David and I experienced in everything you organized. I personally cannot wait for your next extravaganza.
