"It has been a long and arduous journey. I was born in Crimea, USSR, in 1933, in a land where the Pontic Greeks had lived since antiquity. Amid the tides of history, my parents and I were forcibly deported to Northern Greece, where we spent over twenty years rebuilding our lives.

In 1963, we made the difficult decision to leave once more. We sold everything we had and embarked on a new chapter in the United States, a place that would become our final home. Here, we must adapt, for this is where our journey will end. Yet, through every sacrifice and every challenge, I find solace in knowing that the lives of my children will be easier."
