Re: [Cz-L] Good news...

Mr. Rosner,

Thanks to you Mr. Rosner, Traian Popovichi's portrait will be included on =
the wall of the City Council conference room. This is truly amazing! Just a =
short while ago, the TP plaque was at issue. Now there is the reality of the=
 Plaque and the Portrait. It just goes to show what dialogue can accomplish =
in face to face meetings between peoples of the world, to resolve issues of =
conflict.

The Chernivtsi City officials are to be commended for moving forward to mak=
e the City a place where all peoples are welcome and can feel they are a par=
t of and share in it's heritage.

Again, congratulations to you and Mirim Taylor for your efforts in pioneeri=
ng new inroads towards a positive relationship between the current Chernivts=
i City government, its people and the multitude of Czernowitz expatriots liv=
ing all over the world.

Gary Rogovin
