Further information
The help, albeit modest, has been greatly appreciated by Jim who as a result has been able to recover from his fall while climbing in Idaho in spring 2008. Today he is surviving thanks to a US$ 500 monthly pension, at a friend's home who has provided a room for him and his wife Peggy who has had health problems for numerous years. Jim sends his warmest greetings and thanks to all those Italian friends who helped him.
As agreed, signed photographs were sent to all those who donated € 100 or more, but in some cases this was not possible due to a lack of address: those who have not yet received their signed copies are asked to contact Giovanni Groaz with the correct postal address

Thank you.
