Matthew Richardson, you are captivating and touching. I grew up in Dubuque, Iowa. I was close to a Richardson family of Dave, Dan and Lisa. Either of you, Richardsons related to this family?

As I mentioned to our Board at our last meeting, there is nothing that I have been prouder to be a part of since I came to the Florentine than this program. Programs such as this show that the arts are far from a frill – they speak to the very core of the human condition, and help us connect across even seemingly insurmountable barriers.
