I can picture the whole thing. Once again Rocky will steal the show. Can't keep a 34th'er down for long!

What is Amanda's PayPal address? I will not be able to attend a fundraiser but I would like to make a contribution for Rocky's trip and PayPal makes it easy.

 

It's been a while since I've made my donation but I think I got some kind of flyer in my email for an event and I contacted her about making a donation without attending the event. I don't have it anymore.

 

Her name is "Amanda Cherry-Haus". Sorry I'm not much help :(


God bless those heroes who suffered and died, for plain folks, like you and me.

Rocky arrived in Italy and here's one of the pics Matteo took. I think this speaks volumes. This is Montecassino.

 

God love ya Rocky. You made it. I can only imagine what was going through your head...

For some reason I had it in my head that he was not going until July! My check was mailed just yesterday! Oh well, that's par for the course of a chronically late Birthday wisher (is that a word??)

I can not wait! My friend Fabio, will bring Rocky around Bologna onboard of his Willys on Thursday, then we will meet at 5 PM in the library! We take a lot of pictures and I can not wait to send to you!

I hope that Rocky will enjoy. :1028:

Hello everyone,

I can say that for me it was great to know Rocky and to hear what he had to tell. I felt like a child who listens delighted his grandfather!

I believe that Rocky is a great man, as we do not see more today... I wish I had more time to spend with him and I hope that even a small part of his strength and energy can be transferred to me!

 

I'll post the photos as soon as I get!

 

Rocky Thanks for this wonderful afternoon! See you in Verona...

Yesterday in Verona, in the Column of Liberty, Rocky became a star in the square near the Arena in Verona.

was a fantastic afternoon and Rocky and I was happy I was for him. (ps: M1 Rocky asked me to greet you) Unfortunately my trip with him is over, but its continue and I'm sure it will be fantastic!

 

I will remember for a lifetime of these two days!

 

Ps: I'm not sure that Rocky has realized that I am Enrico, the one of engineer forum... LOL but the thing is not important :D (basically I know so little English that was almost impossible for me to make him understand ... sigh )
