This is Isobel Kunst as I met her on the train to Domodossola in Verbano, Piedmont. Sweet kid if there ever was one ... years ago her parents went through a bitter divorce and her mom, Sylvia Kunst, was granted sole custody. Her American father, Jim Sloe, kidnapped her and fled to Panama where they lived for seven years, her dad assuming, and Isobel letting him believe, that she forgot all about Sylvia and Itlay. When they took a trip to San Diego, Isobel, then 14, ran into a police station. She was returned to her mom, went to high school in Italy and captained her field hockey team to the Piedmont-Lombardia championship. A few years ago she started her Yoga studio - great success - first Hatha, then Vinyasa and Bikram. Since then property crime rate went down 82%, violent crime is non-existent, the birth-rate is 18% higher than the national average, people walk or bike anywhere, they smile a lot and nobody has had dandruff in years. Isobel has a pet turtle called Joe Clyde.
