I recently found myself thinking about a very inspiring story from a couple of decades ago. I couldn’t remember details so did a quick Google search. Well, I found what I was looking for, ordered the book that so inspired me all those years ago, and will share more about it another time.
In the meantime, my Google search led me to another wonderful and completely unexpected story that I found deeply inspiring. I happened upon this paragraph in the book Legendary Locals of San Francisco’s Richmond, Sunset, and Golden Gate Park by Lorri Ungaretti:
I did a double-take as I was reading! He stopped playing for 60 years, starting up again at age eighty. Think about that! But that wasn’t enough. He also starts making violins! And giving them away. He’s still taking lessons and playing in an orchestra and performing with a string quartet.
Remo Del Tredici is my new hero!
