WHAT'S NEW . . .
* We are pleased to announce a new art exhibition on Friends and
Partners showcasing the work of Miss Arina Dmitrovna Genkina.
Arina, 15, attends art school in Moscow where she lives with her
mother - a professional artist - and her father - a craftsman/goldsmith
and former Soviet hanggliding champion.
This online exhibition is a sampling of almost 50 pieces of her
extensive work, which ranges from the fanciful to the bizarre and is full of
intricate details.
Please visit from the F&P art page or from URL:

Subject: Re: Russian Immigration to United States
I am looking for information for a paper that I and a group of students
from California State University of Sacramento, Nursing Department are
putting together with regards to how recent immigration of Russians to the
United States affects the health care system. If you have any information
with regards to values, beliefs, statistical numbers, etc. I would
appreciate it. Thanks Barbara Monico

Subject: I am trying to locate someone...
My name is Tiffany Bell. I am trying to locate someone in Moscow. I
know you are in the States but, I thought you might know where to help me
start.
His name is Maxim Ovchenko or Ovchenika (I'm not sure of spelling). I
met him 12/92 when my aunt was adopting a child from Russia. His mother
was the director of one of the orphanages. I have a phone number which
is 479-8849, but I have never been able to get through. His mother's
address at the orphanage is:
Dom Rebenka 23
Molodtsova 1B
Moscow, Russia 129221
She does not speak English however.
If someone you know can contact Maxim I would truly appreciate it.
My address is:
Tiffany Bell
3020 Country Square Dr. #1134
Carrollton, Texas 75006
Phone: 214-417-1528
E-mail: tbell@ix.netcom.com
I know this is quite unorthodox, but I had no other ideas.
Thank you,
Tiffany
