that year in Italy, studying at the U of Pavia, we have been back many
times for reunions with our group and to connect with our friends who
live in Pavia. That exposure to a different culture also gave us a new
and broader perspective on the world and encouraged our continuation of
travel to other countries. We have participated in a number of
international Rotary projects ove the years in Mexico (where my local
Rotary Club "Southtowne Eugene" is a co-sponsor of a rural project near
