Weeks later after visiting a friend in Civita di Bagnoreggio, (which is an hour north of Rome) I called her. "It's Richard,"said I. "Richard who?" said she. "Richard from Spain," said I, my heart sinking. "Ah, Richard from Spain!" (Phew!) So I visited Ingrid in Rome. She lived with her father who was conveniently traveling out of the country at the time - he was a stained glass maker - and Ingrid proceeded to cook for me every night for the next six nights. She was studying Art History and so took one day from her studies to show me all of Rome. By the time midnight came and we were climbing the steps up to her house my feet were bleeding. So she prepared me a nice foot bath of Epsom Salts. The End. :-) Years ago when traveling through Spain I met “Ingrid” We traveled together for a couple of days and she invited me to Rome to her home.

One day I was in Old Saybrook, CT and at lunch wandered into a small meat market there for a sandwich. As I rounded a corner a woman with a large floppy brimmed hat crashed into me with her cart. Stunned, I looked up to respond just as she said, in a very distinct, shaky and yet familiar voice, "I'm so sorry my dear." The woman turned out to be Katharine Hepburn. All of my young life I had wanted to meet her and finally I did! Many years ago I was working for a jewelry co and traveling the state of CT.

The largest audience I ever sang for was about 1500 people when I did my concert at World Expo in Brisbane Australia in '88. My concert at Sydney's Opera House complex was not as well attended. My favorite songs to sing in concert are comic victorian songs and Gilbert & Sullivan patter songs. @Ruben - I too fell in love with a lady named Gabriella. It did not end well. I understand your situation. I’ve been singing since I was 6 years old. The largest audience I ever sang for was about 1500 people when I did my concert at World Expo in Brisbane Australia in ’88.

He came to visit the gym where I boxed when I was just 13 years old. After watching me sparing, he told my mom; "That kid's gonna go a long way - he's got attitude." He went on to be a massive movie star and 'The Governator' and I went into marketing :) Hello Irene,

Her father was a confidence man and she was under investigation for aiding and abetting her father. Long after the time we were together, I learned the truth about her secretive ways -- mail addressed to another person coming to her home, midnight phone calls from her family that kept her up for hours,... I was even told that the FBI may have been watching her while we were dating. I doubt that is the case because if there was a connection between her and me in some dusty file in the basement of the J. Edgar Hoover Building I never would have been offered that black badge job with the US Treasury back in 1983. Rubin: I have a similar episode in my youth but it didn’t involve anyone’s death.

Australia (4) - Rockhampton, Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast (current). United States (3) - New York, Miami, Los Angeles (current). India (2) - Mumbai, Agra. Costa Rica (1) - Limon. The only language I speak though is English so I've had many a challenging time but I've learned to drive a hard bargain when shopping in markets!
