The Never Ending Pool

Hi: I just came from the Italian Embassy here in San Francisco. I left them a book that I put together with all the Memorial comments about Thomas as well as the donation thread. I included the sad emails from Thomas's sister and pictures of Thomas. The Consol spoke with me and accepted the book. He said that the Italian Government has the right to bury Thomas without telling the family, the same happens here in US. He in fact stepped in during such a case and paid for the body to be sent back to Italy. He said he would call the police in the town where Thomas is, but that he didn't think he could get anywhere with that. He said if the request came from the German Consul in Italy they would help and possibily pay for Thomas to go back. Is there anyone who could do that? He mentioned the Consulate in Milan.
