Brian, my dear friend, if it wasn't for this comment I received by mail, I would never have known that you have already written me a number of letters. Thanks a lot for them and for this comment. I am pleased to hear you are well and sound.
Val, This one to MyPoemList, and not JUST because you are one of my best and most attentive PH friends. The Queen of Moscow has barely spoken when she tosses you a kiss as a token..... of the love I'm SURE she has for her man; I'm sure she's your biggest, though only, fan. bri :)

Val has poems in the Russian language on PH, as another of 'the missing', Eugene Levich as poems translated from Chinese.
