What's their status? I know someone who brought home a cute Russian orphan
after the bureaucratic fight with the US Gummit, of course. She's going to
be an electrical engineer after graduation....but the boys ARE persistent.

I think they have 3, now....all orphans, adopted.

They know more about the USA than I do!

Firepersons (PC!) love kids. They drive our trucks over in front of
Walmart, suit the kids all up like firepersons and water the vacant lot
next door with a 250', hi pressure ladder truck from way up there!


These first two sites give some information about our local program. Typing
'Children of Chernobyl Program' into Google will provide all kinds of info.

program is facing.)

The first child we had will be graduating high school this year and then
attending the University of St. Petersburg in Russia. Very bright kid.
After his first visit he went home and began taking English five days a
week in school. He also talked his parents into paying the English teacher
to come to his house one night a week for tutoring. He absolutely loved
this country.
