Saturday morning they proceeded to Carrara and were introduced to the Great Angelo Pappadia, the universally famous sculptor. As they were about to leave Italy. Jean and JoAnne spotted a man knee-deep in grapes. Upon looking a little closer, they found him to be none other than Joseph Fusaro.

Leaving Saudi-Arabia Sunday morning, they look a fifty-five minute trip to Australia. In the city of Perth they met two of their oldest friends. Carolyn Baton and Marlyn Crandall, who were now prospering in the business of diamond cutting. The girls spent time together happily reminiscing.
