Dear Andrew,
 Regarding you change of attitude as to the Ukraineans of Czernowitz:
  1. The 20 local student volunteers - a complete suprise and much
appreciated.
  2. Chip on your shoulder - first they have to get out of the Temple .
  3. Nuclear bombs on the Ukraine ? They nuke themselves - see Chernobyl.
  4. Getting into trenches and throwing Molotov Cocktails ?
        The idea is tempting but I don't think I'll join you on this.
          Maybe in a different location and different cocktails.
           Bloody Mary you like ?
  5. If the Russian tanks roll into Ukraina you will not find me there.
        All this is said without forgetting the student volunteers which
        came to me as a complete surprise.
              Hardy

Beloved Czernowitzers:
The notice from the city about 20 students cleaning the cemetery warmed my
heart and partially removed the chip on my shoulder regarding Ukraine's
refusal to return confiscated property.
I might reconsider and visit Cz before I die or before Putin starts dropping
nuclear bombs on the Ukraine. Those of us still able might volunteer to get
into the trenches to throw Molotov Cocktails at Russian tanks if and when
they roll into Bucovina as they did into Georgia.
But more immediate, the maintenance of the cemetery is an ongoing issue and
we might consider setting up a fund for this. If each of us who has
ancestors buried there - probably about 300 of us at least - contributed
$10-$35 per annum it might suffice to hire a permanent caretaker for the
job.

What do you think?
