My hats off to Cecil and Marianna Sandstrum of "Marianna's Agency".
Having just recently returned from one of their trips to the Ukraine, I must say at the very least ,it was a vacation of a Lifetime. Being a child of the 60's and  70's, and growing up during the Cold War, it put a whole new light on my point of view. To be in the middle of the Ukrainian Culture, to taste a different lifestyle, was incredible. That being said, we all want the same things,East and West, we all seek love,we want happiness for our families,and children. Did I say we all want love? That takes me to the "Highpoint" of the trip.
   The Agency introduced me to many of the ladies that I had correspondence with, and all the ladies were beautiful and cultured. But after my second day of interviews, I met one that was as beautiful on the inside,as she was attractive on the outside. Her name is Vicktoria, and we continued the rest of my trip in Chernotsy spending as much time as possible together. We visited the local museums, and many restaurants, we took a walk through a beautiful park in the center of the city also.
  And things between us seemed to connect on a deeper level, so now we
are making plans for Vicky to come to America this coming Spring, to seek all the potential of a life together. For this my greatest "Thanks" to everyone stateside and in the Ukraine, including mine and Vicky's "adopted translator stepson", Roman,(who now has sore ears).
All the staff were great,and helpful throughout the trip, my eternal
Thanks to everyone that made this trip possible.
 

Sincerely Ron
