I'd like to help but more information may be needed. I searched for Diane, no luck. Then I searched for Steven and found one person in Kentucky with a San Diego phone number. Could that be the right one?
Please remember it's very important if you are asking for help with this sort of thing to give as much info as you can (age, city, relatives, etc), and to be sure to spell everything carefully and correctly. I don't know if you spelled this name right, but the only hits I found on two websites were for the name "Maggiora", not "Maggoria". And the former is a much more common formation in Italian names, whereas the latter, your spelling, is not familiar to me at all. This is not a criticism. I want to help. If you think what I've found is a plausible lead please let me know. I will dig further if you can give me more to work with. Be well.
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post.
Sorry to seem like a nitpick, but sometimes the fancy lettering makes it very hard to read. It seems the person who attempted to transcribe this before me gave up from an illegible word. I also could not make out the word, but I hope you don't mind that I skipped ahead and finished the transcription without the final line of the second Haiku. Be well.
Hi Dymitri; I transcribed your letter, I hope I did not make mistakes, as I am Italian my English it is not perfect. I agree with all you wrote.The ability to believe in ourselves is fundamental for our correct psychological balance and for our psychophysical well-being. Alberto from ITALY
Hello Dymitri. I believe I do understand what you may be feeling in those situations. It seems a little like an Inquisition torturer (to use one of your metaphors) reading from the Quran as he murders a Muslim for his faith. And with you, I also believe Mssrs de la Rocha, Wilk, Commerford, and Morello would not be happy to know their music was played by police on the job. I'm sure they'd gladly return the royalties in a jiffy. Thanks for your thoughts. Please do keep them coming.
Hi Jennifer! I transcribed your letter, I hope I did not make mistakes, as I am Italian my English it is not perfect. Unfortunately I could not read a couple of words and I had to write some asterisks. I read with great interest what you wrote about Christians who must be united and do God’s will together. Today I'd like to tell you something about Italian history. Italy has been subject to various foreign dominations, including those of the Ostrogoths and Lombards in the 6th and 7th centuries, the Byzantines and Franks in the Middle Ages, and, more extensively and for a longer period, the Spanish and French between the 15th and 18th centuries. In the modern era, the territory was divided into regional states under the control of foreign powers such as the Austrian Habsburgs and the Bourbons, until unification in 1861. Best regards.

Oh, and by the way. I got a good laugh from the last line of your transcriptionist. They did the exact thing of which we speak. I am talking about a literal laugh. What the children call in modern life, an LOL. Man, I avoid that term at all cost, being from different generation than you or them. You're a good writer D. Truly.

Do you have any more poetry or other things to tell us? People are listening!
Adding a little humour to a sometimes overserious blogsite. Good idea! Stay with it.
