Happy to say that Pete is back in the States after an extended trip to Ukraine and eastern Europe.
"Yes, I was in Ukraine for 3 months last summer/fall.
Made a side trip for a couple weeks to Poland to look for possible relatives of my maternal grandmother.
Also spent some time traveling through parts of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Hungry, Slovenia Slovenia, Croatia to Bosnia Herzegovina."
He plans to go back for another 3 months this July. He said he would be posting here but he cannot log on..? Thoughts or suggestions on that?
