I have no words for such an experience. Unbelievable, unforgettable, absolutely amazing 11 months in my life. My Fellowship at Stanford wouldn't so grate without Tricia and her place. She becomes not only welcoming and caring host for us but a friend, our American mom. We wish we could stay much longer.

I'd never expect such welcome attitude, but Tricia exceeded all our expectations: we spent so much time talking, having dinners, making trips, drinking great Californian wines.

People, who once stay in her house will return there again and again... It is not just about hosting people for her - it is about life.

Thank you so much, Tricia, from me and my wife Katya for this amazing time. We would never forget you and your kindness.
