The girls with their grandfather. We were able to meet him. He seems like a very good man. He lives near CarKiev, which is about 5 hours away by car. As you can see he's quite short, but a very powerfull man, barrel chested, thick powerfull hands, piercing steel blue eyes. I like him immediately. He spent 27 years as a midshipman/radioman, on diesel submarines for the Soviet Union. We were the first Americans he had ever met, he was very nervous. I wish I could have spoken to him, language differences are such a pain.
