In the fall of 1991, I met the cutest “girl” and chased her for all I was worth. We met at Siena College. She’s stuck with me through thick and thin – literally in my case. One of her favorite movies – probably her favorite, is “The Sound of Music”. In Europe we were able to visit the “real” Siena – the Italian City outside of Pisa, and also stay in the real Von Trapp Home – the home the Von Trapp family left in Salzburg, Austria so that they would not be forced to serve Hitler. Ironically, Heinrich Himmler, leader of the SS would takeover their home, and make it his summer house. You could actually see one of Himmler’s bunker’s – leading to underground areas, at the Von Trapp home still. This was truly a terrifying reminder of our truly not too distant past.
