The Mayor made contact by phone with the Minister of Italian Language and Culture. He has finally returned from another month long trip to Firenze, Arezzo, and Cortona. His presence was requested by the Cultural Exchange Council of Florence so they could present him with their annual Distinguished Man of Letters and Culture. He was singled out for his tireless efforts in promoting Italian culture in the US and in California. Finally, he is getting his long overdue recognition.
He has been retired from full time teaching for over 20 years, but he has continued to represent Santa Clara County, the city of San Jose and other local entities in their relations with the province of Tuscany. He has been an advisor to various groups and individuals, including Francis and Ed Mayes, his friends from San Francisco(state university).
A bit under the weather after his return trip, he has been recuperating at his home after spending Christmas with his family.
Congratulations, Professore!
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
