So on an early morning in late March my brother gets a call from my cousin inviting him to join my extended family for a last minute trip to Rome.
One of the reasons I thought he should go was they were staying with the Brudvig’s. The Brudvig’s have been family friends for as a long as I can remember and Lee has an interesting and successful career with the State Department. Right now Lee stationed at the U.S. Mission to the U.N. Agencies in Rome and is working with the UN’s World Food Program and Food and Agriculture Organization. Coincidentally, this morning
MPR did a story on the fight against hunger and interviewed Tony Hall.
Tony Hall was the previous ambassador of the embassy where Lee works, which is right in the neck of woods where my brother and extended family are traveling.
It’s a small world after all.
