Dear Jerry, Note that a fellow SF Presbyter and SFTS alum is accompanying you along your journey. Thanks for the photos and messages. I was in Russia for 2 weeks in 1992 and remember a picnic in the park (then) where the cathedral stands now. We had a prayer service asking God to enable the building of that church. Please extend my warm greetings to Donald Marsden, former student and friend of many years. Don
