Youssef Saouli was one of several Lebanese boys coming nearly every afternoon to school and with the help of Flavio Giovenale and Michel Boulos they used to set up different sport, cultural and musical activities. They carried on coming to school even after the beginning of the civil war and made a great contribution by taking as much as possible from the school to El Houssoun.
Some of them had just finished playing volleyball when the bombs dropped over the school on August 19 1976, killing Don Paoloni and another person and injuring quite a lot of them, as well as Claudio Cordone’s father and Father Jacques Amateis.
Thank you Youssef !!

Im sorry that you were stuck in a deteriorating situation… One of the lebanese brothers was the one who tried to save the Palestinian baby during the isreali raid. I hope all who survived that bombing are safe now. This is all my country’s fault and I want you to know we are working very hard to get support for a solution and maybe find some peace for Lebanon. I think it will take a long time though. A lot of people including my oun will be paying for the misguided way things were handled after world war 2.
Youssef, Thank you, this is awsome! I got home after a long day at school between classes and finals, and having slept 4 hours last night as I a was correcting finals and preparing for today. My plan was to get home and crash. Well, I decided to check my email quickly before I go to sleep, and to my surprise, I found your emails! What a trip Maaaaaaaaaaaaan! I could not stop going over them again and again and again… and here I am two and half hours later still cannot sleep or leave them. Wow…
Hey by the way, do not know if you remember, Khaled Nabahani is here in Southern Cal. and his cousin is architecture/construction management program chair at my school (a graduate of Russia!). I will be showing him that picture next week.
Finally, I want to give a shout-out to all on the email list as well; Hellooooooooooooo Everyone…
