A New Meeting After Ten Years

My short stay in Virginia was not planned in my US internship program, but life introduces its own corrections into any plan or schedule...

I was happy to pay a short visit to Fairfax.

I was invited there by my friend Dorothy, a retired high school teacher, who had visited Luhansk in 1989 with "Friendship Caravan" as a teacher leader.

Wonderful Reunion!

Knowing that we, Ukrainian educators, stayed in Washington D.C. together with a 30-member Russian group of educators, Dorothy also wanted to invite two of my Russian colleagues to her house.

She took me and two of my Russian colleagues to her city and showed us around her house. We had tea and talked there.
It was wonderful!

Long Time No See!

It was great to see my friend Dorothy after such a long time and to sit and drink tea in her cozy house!

It took us ten years to be able to have tea together again. Better late than never!

Only thanks to the quick Internet and telephone connection were we able to agree about the meeting and to meet finally!

I do hope we will keep in touch and I will have another chance of seeing that beautiful old city.

Thanks, Dorothy!
