Warm Wishes to Rod Blagojevich and Richard Durbin- Lithuanian/Russian Heritage Affiliation

Warm wishes and support are extended to Governor Rod Blagojevich, his wife and his children. I met him at a Stripeik(my mother's family) family event in the early 1970's, and met he, his wife and his children at another such event before one of his elections. Even though he has Serbian heritage, this qualifies he and his family at least as honorary Lithuanian/Russian.

Warm wishes and support are also extended to Senator Richard Durbin and his family, who are also of Lithuanian/Russian heritage. I met him in the lobby of the Seneca hotel on Chestnut street in Chicago, just outside of the door of the restaurant where I worked.

May both elected officials of high government position from the State of Illinois find the strength and wisdom to guide them through the important and difficult decisions that continually confront today's leaders and their families- in their positions.
