The P & J chat is back this week! Longhorn is away on assignment so the old guards JB & Phil  Bring you everything to talk about from Monza race weekend. 

Professor Millicent Marcus of Yale University speaks about her life and work as a scholar of Italian literature. We focus in particular on her witnessing of and participation in two world-historical events: the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom and the 1966 flood of the River Arno in Florence. She describes her experiences as one of the “Angeli del fango,” the young people who helped to recover books, manuscripts, and works of art from the damage of the floodwaters. 

Iris Smith  lives in Tulalip, Washington. 

I met her at the Northwest Christian writers meeting and was fascinated by her story. 

She is originally from Boston where her parents and grandparents emigrated, both from Italy and Russia.  And that's kind of a fun story that we get to hear about. 

This family history involves 

• a ruptured appendix and subsequent coma for a month
