TO MAZEPPA WITH LOVE

AN INCREDIBLE EVENT HAPPENED TODAY IN MAZEPPA.  A UKRANIAN TV REPORTER, ANNA LEVYTSKA ,  RECENTLY DISCOVERED MY BLOG BECAUSE OF THE REFERENCE TO THE FAMOUS POEM MAZEPPA WHICH OUR TOWN WAS NAMED AFTER.  THEY WERE IN DC DOING WORK AND WANTED TO SEE MAZEPPA.  SO THEY TRAVELED UP TODAY AND RUSSIA AND MAZEPPA CAME TOGETHER AS ONE.  WORD GOT AROUND ABOUT THIS GOING ON AND NIKOLOI MIRONNENKO STOPPED BY AND ANNA WAS SO STUNNED TO TALK WITH HIM IN THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED AND MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUT CHANNEL 16 AS THEY COVERED THIS AMAZING EVENT.
