 In her "spellbinding" and "riveting" recounting of the story of the  Italian luxury liner, the author Pierette Domenica Simpson invited us  to navigate through her book,  Alive on the Andrea Doria!  The Greatest Sea Rescue in History. Joined by fellow shipwreck survivor, Germaine Donofrio Strobe, Ms. Simpson,  an authority on the Andrea Doria, shared gripping stories of survival  as well as scientific evidence to vindicate her people, the Italians.

Festa della Befana 2008

Photo Gallery

The  " La Befana " party in Ann Arbor was a huge hit.  Over  50 children and their families came for an afternoon of fun, magic, and excitement.  In addition to the games and refreshments, Magician  Jeff Wawrzaszek  regaled the children and adults with an impressive show that left many mouths gaping. The highlight, however, was the appearance of La Befana.  Despite being very tired after traveling thousands of miles, our La Befana met with all the children and had a sock full of goodies for each. The kids weren't fooled by the  imposter "Super Befana" who arrived on an electric broom, and helped sweep her out of the room.
