Dear Colleagues,
What a wonderful pleasure to see this website. I was involved with an
unpublished diplomatic initiative linked to the opening of the Berlin Wall on
November 9th, 1989, and a subsequent transfer of a 32 foot segment of it to
Fulton, Missouri, where it was dedicated on November 9, 1990, by former U.S.
President Reagan and again by former USSR General Secretary and President
Gorbachev in May, 1992.
We are now discussing the writing of a book about some of these
unpublished events in Spanish, using a former United Nations employee from
Columbia and are interested in a Russian language version if we can find a
good translator.
The best address to write with interest is: TEDHODGSON@AOL.COM.

Windows 95 has multi-language support; whether it's built-in or add-on
depends on whether you have the CD-ROM version (I think). See

There's also a lot of information on F&P's own Cyrillic pages.
