I was simply translating the note from Iryna Bodnar, written to Sonia van Heerden <soniavanheerden@hotmail.com>. When Iryna wrote "My cousin Stefanija Racka told me about you," the "you" referred to Sonia, not me. Iryna wouldn't know me from Adam -- I'm just the guy who translated the note for Sonia. If I'm figuring this correctly, Sonia is the one you want to talk to, as she's the one in touch with Iryna. She can give your message to Iryna, and Iryna could then pass your message on to Stefanija. I hope that clarifies things. Fred Hoffman
