My grandfather,
Mikhail Yagudin, was a long-time resident and well-known in Borzna,
Ukraine. He was born and raised there as was all of
his family, and later returned there to raise his own family and head
the firefighter department and become one of the directors of their
regional board. He also knew most of the people you
had mentioned on your homepage over the past years. He has
always loved the town and it had been imprinted in his memory very
vividly up until the day that he died, 10/30/03 at the age of
83. His funeral took place today, 10/31/03.
