The pursuit of peace continues in Vietnam a half century ago with the vase that served as a centerpiece of art and diplomacy, journalism and history…the denouement.
Thanks ever so much, Alan ... yes indeed, your grandmother (?!) is indeed a national treasure with any number of memorable, historic experiences she is able and apparently willing to share with her scintillating voice. The 'Unleashed' family is privileged to be able to bring them to the world! Do keep reading (& of course spread the word !!)
A secret, unknown moment of history, now known. We have had the honor of meeting Ambassador Ronning and many of the Ronning and Topping clan members. We have enjoyed sharing special times with Audrey and Top, their intriguing daughters and their high profile friends. We are blessed to have direct family times with beautiful Karen. This story is just the tip of an amazing life well lived, immersed at pivotal and lasting moments of world history. We look forward to future revelations.
It is indeed a privilege to be able to feature the incomparable Audrey Ronning Topping and hope there will be many more opportunities in the future!
And with thanks for pointing out your kind and vigilant brother-in-law Alan !

I love this story, the way it is written, and the absolute treasure of both knowledge and vase.
