Dear   Clyde & Vivian, Ted & Gloria
 Dear All

 Let  me  tell you that my student Maria Kupchinskaia  has  safely arrived
 back home after an eventful month of her "Watch & Learn" internship in
 your part of the world.

 She  gave  me  the names  of  the many Rotarians and non-Rotarians
 to   express  her   and   our   heartfelt   gratitude    to   you for
 your  time,   efforts and willingness to share your   culture,  including  business  culture.

 Especially  she  is  grateful  to  Clyde & Vivian who coordinated her
internship   activities  and her first host family;  many thanks go
to Ted and Gloria for the coordination of her visit to  Anchorage
and for taking drastic  measures when she suddenly fell ill.

Maria  warmly  mentioned the names of Sue Clardy, her "angel guardian"
as    she  put  it.

Regrettably, she does not have  the e-mail addresses for
all   who  have  made  her  experience  in  Alaska  most  meaningful,
productive  and enjoyable. Warmest regards   and  a big thank you  to Andrew Peter, Steve and
Noko,   Maynard,   Kathy  Grimes,  Bill  P. Jay, Arthur Sose(Sp.), the
Clynes, and many others.

Unfortunately, I have been  unable to touch base with Maria as she has
acted   as  a caregiver for her dying grandfather and grandmother with
Alzheimer. Hence a delay in communication.

Within a week the reports of all ten interns, including Maria's ,  will be posted on the
 school's site (www.buk.irk.ru) for us  to see what has been accomplished
 due   to  the  wonderful  hospitality  of  Rotarians  and  non-Rotarians  in
 Australia, Canada and the U.S.

With  renewed thanks for all  your generous gestures  that are very much appreciated.
