... in response to Hey, APK1, posted by Richard on May 31, 2002I am now out of the loop as to the final preperations of Olga's return trip on Sunday, my only contact through this whole ordeal was through my travel agent...and my wife the interpreter.
It is my understanding through my follow-up yesterday that Olga has been very well taken care of by my hometown police dept, they passed the hat to raise the money for her plane,train tickets and spending money...and showed this young girl what American generosity is all about...and leave her with a better impression of Americans than her fiance did.
I will follow up again next week to see if she made it to her final destination...I know that she prefered to go to Kiev, we are not sure if she has family and friends there or if that is where she was a university student.
