Chernobyl

From the recent article in the Awake and a special that was on TV last night that recounted the story behind the 1986 Chernobyl Disaster, my interest has been peaked. Also now that I am in the Russian congregation the russians and Ukranians that are here in Italy suffer from effects of that disaster. In fact all the nephews of one Ukranian brother in my hall suffer from various debilitating heath problems due to the effects of Long Term Low Level Radiation Exposure. It is very sad what man does to himself and innocent victims. I found the two below sites pretty informative.

Back in the Saddle Again

Gooooooood Mooooring Turin, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Massachusetts etc.... Well I have finally decided to update this website. As you probably know, the 2006 Winter Olympics were here in good ol' Turin. I didn't see any of the games but we did see some the concerts that they did every night of the week for the awards ceremonies. There were also lots of americans running around. That was good to hear some english again. I havent updated my pics yet but I am planning to add some that we took out and around Turin during those two weeks. Also, for all you that actually read this site, we are coming to the States! June 2nd to the 20th so keep some time open for us we would like to see you...
