I have not been recording this type of thing of late even though I have
gone to several of these, but I went tonight to the 18th Annual National Education &
Leadership (NELA) Awards Gala at the Omni-Shoreham given by the Sons of Italy. I
was the guest of Chuck Conconi (Washingtonian Magazine, formerly columnist for
Washington Post) and his wife Janelle. At the Table were Ed Henry (CNN White House
Correspondent), Lloyd Hand, Mike Petruzzelo (Managing Director of Qorvis
Communications) and Mr. Thompson (?first name) African American billionare and his
date Cheryl Lee (CEO of BET). Pres. Clinton and Hillery Clinton were guest speakers.
Ran into the usual DC crowd – Sen Chris Dodd, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, Franco
Nuschese (Owner of Café Milano – who was also an awardee), etc.

June 11 – 17, 2006 – Went to Tuscana with Chris and the girls for a few days and then
went on to Genoa for the annual review of the Gaslini Institute. Wonderful time had by
all. Stayed in an amazing converted farm house (to a villa) owned by a friend of Jim
Huskey’s from the Embassy in Florence. The weather was amazing – warm and totally
sunny during the day and cold at night requiring a fire in the fire-place and blankets in
bed. Sunsets over the Tuscan hills with a glass of chianti was incredible.
