These are the people in your neighborhood

Hello:

This should be a short post today ("Sure it will", you think). I was just thinking again about how small the world has become. When I travel, I use my business cards as an easy way to let people that I meet know how to stay in touch with me. Very seldom does anyone recognize the Liguori Publications name. When I was in Torino (trying to figure out what bus would take me to the Olympic Opening Ceremony), I met Sue and Sandra. Two lovely ladies, who knew how to get the stadium (FYI - take the X4 from Porto Nuovo). We all hit it off pretty quickly and were exchanging contact information before we split up to go to our seats. Sue, immediately said "You work for Liguori!" when I handed her my card. "You've heard of us?" Turns out that she and her sister have been long time subscribers to Liguorian magazine and frequently give out gift subscriptions. It was a very pleasant experience for me.

She doesn't know it yet, but I'm going to send her one of our Travel books, Catholic Shrines of Western Europe: A Pilgrim's Travel Guide by Kevin J. Wright. Speaking of things Sue doesn't know, I didn't ask her permission to post this picture. I'll have to email her right away.

Peace,
