Curious that mine is the first comment.

Helen Sears , now Campbell, is a fine publicist for you.

We’re in Portland OR to celebrate together with children Lydia Sears Mirocha & family and Michael Sears (48) and family from Oakland CA.

Helen has a vast network in her memory and always growing with travels and next husband John.

But I’m sure you have heard from her.

Have enjoyed your verbal pix of Bergamo.

Harlequin and Commedia dell’arte .....

We studenti were allowed to see your class ONE day during our course and it was fun to see you there with the other “bambini italiani”

Happy Thanksgiving to your family and in the memory of Gail and your Dad; they’re so proud of the two men that carry on their legacy.

Tom, so wonderful to read this and that you're here supporting my work. Thank you!

I love to imagine you all together. ❤️

Yes! I was a bambino italiano! (You know what's crazy? I found a little diario in storage. My mom must have set it aside. I wrote PAGES in Italian, filling up the entire thing. I have no idea how this could have happened, but there it was. It's a marvel to me.)

Do not feel lonely on being the first commenter. 🤣 This was a consolidation of a two part post elsewhere that have the comments from the original posts. https://www.adamnathan.com/p/the-watchmaker-part-i

More Bergamo and Gail Westgate here (although a lot heavier fare): https://www.adamnathan.com/p/scheherazade-i

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Will think of you all and raise a glass tomorrow. Thank Helen again for her support for my writing. It means a great deal to me.

❤️
