After 33 years since his death, Frank Samperi's Archive is now placed at UC San Diego
at the famous Geisel Library on campus!
With the help of warm, loving people this came to pass and I am thrilled and honored that
my father will live on and others can see and view his work for a very long time!
see photos from my visit and also, my daughter, Gwendolyn will be attending UC San Diego

What a legacy that her Grandfather will be there with her and she continues her studies and degree
The stars have aligned!
