experience such a wonderful trip to Russia. Had I not won this trip
through MCA I may have never taken advantage of such fantastic
travels. The group, the Russian Tour guide (Oleg Alexandrov) and
Charlie Dunn were wonderful companions during the trip. It will be a
memory I will cherish all of my remaing days on this earth...
