President's Message


Jim Boitano, Il Presidente

Greetings, Cenacolisti. 

. . . Once again this year, I have Vivaldi’s music “Spring” (from the Four Seasons) playing in the background now on my stereo, and it brings out in me a feeling of new life and resolve that was deadened by the doldrums of winter. For me at least, springtime needs Vivaldi to herald it in.  . . .

Quotable


From an interview in the San Francisco Chronicle
with Christopher Herb Caen, Herb Caen's son:

Q. When you were a kid, what did you want to be?

A. When I was very young, I was at a birthday party.
My mom was going around the table saying,
"What do you want to be when you grow up?" 
Kids were saying, "An astronaut," "a fireman," "a policeman."
I said, "An Italian."
