Hannia !!!!! You are back! Our prayers have been answered. You were certainly missed. I have had a good summer, hope you did too. Even found a 2nd cousin of my Father living in Starjy Sambir. Communication with family in L'viv continues, even made a phone call to them myself. I am SO glad you are back. Your friend, Kim

Hello Hania,

Very glad to see you back at this board. It was dead for all the time that you left, and hopefully now life would return back there.
I also read diary of Judith Hrynenko with great interest. Big part of the journal is concerned with Rozdol, and it was very nice to see pictures of familiar places and faces. I was surprised that the woman who translated all time Juduth letters to Rozdol was actually my first English teacher thanks to whom I became interested in language.

There will be Connecticut Ukrainian Day Festival in Stamford, CT this Sunday. Are you coming?

Hello Kim & Vitalij,

Accessing this forum for some old members continues to be difficult. I have gotten several
e-mails re this problem.

There are also potential new members, who are having difficulty getting a password.

Vitalij,

I see Sonia will be performing in Stamford. She's real good.

excerpt from tour promo
<Sonia Lee is a singer/songwriter who moved from Rochester, N.Y., to Nashville in 1998 to truly be a part of the songwriter community. She signed her first publishing deal with Tate Music Group last November. ⌠It feels good when you get to the point that someone else believes in your songs enough to go out and pitch them,■ Lee said. ⌠I feel very grateful to have gotten this far.■
While in New York she performed live in various bands and groups such as Calico, Dark Side of the Moon and It▓s My Party. But her heritage and musical family inspired her to go in a different direction. Her parents, who emigrated from Ukraine, had encouraged her at a young age to be involved in all sorts of cultural activities, from Pysanky Ukrainian Easter eggs to learning Ukrainian folk dancing. Her grandfather, who became the archbishop of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada in Toronto, sang with her and taught her traditional songs when she was a child.

Being so proud of her Ukrainian heritage, it seemed natural for Lee▓s first project to be a Ukrainian one, producing an album of songs that are dear to her heart, learned at a Ukrainian childhood camp and even one of her own songs. Upon hearing one of the Ukrainian songs, Patton-Johnston instantly wanted to produce Lee▓s album. ⌠I▓ll never forget the first time she heard one of the songs, because she called me and said, ▒I have no idea what you▓re singing about, but I▓m in tears over here.▓■ Lee hopes the album will reach a variety of music lovers, not just Ukrainians, prompting her to take great pains, with a lot of help from her parents, to translate the songs into English.>

Have a great time!
