It was a frightening time and we are greatful for their efforts… After all I would not exist at all when you think about it… We are learning more about that time as the family researches the family history… And we are so thankful as I’m sure your family must be too.

They left during the communist revolt when he was just a few weeks old. Long story short. It was a dangerous departure. My dad’s family has been here since before the U.S. was a country… so our roots run deep in the USA. Thanks again… Ivan
