🌎 UNITED NATIONS DAY
We live in a world of different languages, cultures, traditions, histories, and experiences.
But stories have a remarkable way of reminding us that beneath those differences are many of the same hopes, fears, struggles, and dreams.
Love. Loss. Courage. Conflict. Forgiveness. Belonging.
These are not limited to one country, one culture, or one generation.
Acts of understanding have the power to bridge the distance between us.
That is part of what makes the great stories timeless—and why we continue to tell them.
Different worlds. Different voices. Shared humanity. 🌎

The Friends of the Castle are saddened by the passing of Roger Brod, a longtime and dedicated volunteer at Villa Kathrine.

Roger generously shared his time and talents in support of the Villa, helping preserve this special Quincy landmark for generations to enjoy.

We are deeply grateful for his years of service, friendship, and commitment to the Villa. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his wife, Rita, and the entire Brod family.

Rest in peace, Roger. You will be fondly remembered.

Roger John Brod, age 93, of Quincy, died on October 15, 2026, at the Illinois Veterans Home. He was born on February 20, 1933, in Quincy, the son of Raymond and Helen (Wiskirchen) Brod. Roger married his soul mate, Rita Behrensmeyer on June 9, 1962, in St. Peter Catholic Church. She survives.

Today is National Pasta Day. 🇮🇹

Shakespeare gave us Verona.
Verona gave us Romeo and Juliet.
And Italy gave us pasta.

We don't know exactly what Romeo and Juliet ate...
…but we're pretty sure they had some of the best pasta in town. 😂

So today, we're celebrating one of Italy's greatest contributions to the world:
PASTA.

And perhaps a little dramatic storytelling on the side. 🌹
