I am happily retired. As a career I found myself in the business end of education. Spent most of my working life researching, developing and implementing a broad spectrum of local, state and national education programs. Other than some travel, my focus now is Il Volo and the Flight Crew. How lucky am I to have found such joy? I'm having the time of my life!
Oh, and I'll be a vegetarian when bacon grows on trees.
By Foundation Telethon: Thanks to heart! We open the day with a wonderful news: the #partitadelcuore won the research. Thanks to the generosity of all of you, the commitment of the Italian National Singers For Telethon and Piedmontese Foundation for research on cancer has led to a total collection of 2 million and 111 thousand euro! Congratulations!! ilvolomundialoficial
That’s almost 2.5 Million Dollars! Way to go Guys!
“Ambassadors of Italian Music in the World…Given each year to the artist who has most contributed to the dissemination of Italian music and culture in the world during that particular year. Of course, we know that our guys have deserved this award long before now, but we’ll take it when it comes.”
Gina sometimes forgets that I like to post emails. Like this one.
From GINA – May 29 at 8:14 PM To marie crider, kelly, Jana, Mary Strickler
I did my civic duties this morning lugging boxes and stocking shelves [at my local pantry] so this afternoon my back insisted on a rest.
I can not remember if we did a segment of FORGOTTEN MEMORIES.
Have people list a forgotten memory or song.
(ok Gina, you go first. ~M)
I forgot how much I loved the boys singing “Painfully Beautiful”. Just listened to several on YouTube. Wish they would do an updated version. Gina
Gina, I found a cute one to share:
Now here are two of my good memories. Real oldies that I will never, ever forget.
This may have been the first time I heard Gianluca’s speaking voice. Combined with what he said and how he said it I was floored. I am floored every time I hear it still.
And this one… Watch very near the end. Emotions take over. How is that even possible for a 13-year-old?
How about you, Crew? Feel free to embed your favorite video or tell us your “Forgotten Memory”.
First I’d like to welcome Mary Strickler and Gina as “News Contributors” to our Flight Crew Site. They did such a good job throughout Eurovision that we made them stay. They won’t only be reporting breaking news, like this video Mary S. pointed out.
You may have seen this, but did you watch the thirsty guy on the end?
Need a potty break Ignazio? He’s so bad! Rude too! Never comes over for diner. Doesn’t send flowers, candy or love notes. How rude is that? ~Marie
Come in and share the love of life, friends and Il Volo!
