He taught me many things including info about "Vlad the impaler" and buckets full of eye balls. Needless to say it left quite an impression on me as I was 16 at the time. I have run into him a few times in the past 40 something years. I have always thought of him as an outstanding man. He was kind and in particular a great father. I could never imagine him harming anyone for any reason but one. God help the man who was stupid enough to harm his wife or child!

I suppose I find it a little strange that some of the nicest people I have known have come from areas with some of the bloodest and cruelist histories.

I'd say slobo got off really easy.

"...I always wondered what was really going on in Yugoslavia back then."

Well, maybe the ignorance is a good thing sometimes.
Just a small example - I posted this picture a month ago, my little family was on sledging. I supressed the fact, if you turn left on this crossroad, after a km or two you`d arrive in the place in woods where 12 people are killed in ambush, `91.
Now I`ve said too much. I haven`t said enough.

When I hear stuff like that, it just breaks my heart. We Americans have some unrest too, mostly from criminal thugs and things like that. So it's not like we're unfamiliar with unwarranted violence. But we haven't had a civil war in any of our lifetimes, nor have we had any sort of organized troops making war on our shores. I'm thanking God for that.

I'm always thinking of you and all my other overseas friends that live in areas touched by strife.

Someone knocked on heaven`s door, and St. Peter looked - it`s Slobo.
"Hey, are you mistaken? You belong in hell."
Slobo turned over and went to hell.
Shortly after that, someone knocked again. St. Peter looked, and there`re thirty devils out there.
"Hey, are you mistaken?"
"No, we are refugees..."
