Yup, you are<\/strong> wearing out that refresh button.<\/p>\n No, I don’t have a lot of news to impart. I certainly can’t say that they found Dad and everything is good with the world. <sigh><\/p>\n So, let me first say – Thanks to all the people who have offered their time today and yesterday. We were thrilled by the response to our request for interpreters.<\/p>\n I don’t know exactly how many interpreters we had helping us on Sunday – but Alex came, with a car and his snazzy language skills and made our lives a lot easier. [Thanks Alex!]<\/p>\n I also shouldn’t forget the many, many others who have helped in millions of other ways. It’s easy to focus on a few individuals, and then forget all the others who help in less noticeable ways. I wish I could name each one of you individually, and give you a hug and a smile. I hope my generic one-size-fits-all “Thanks!” will help you know we appreciate even the smallest contribution to the effort. [Even though that’s a lot less than you deserve!]<\/p>\n \u041e\u0433\u0440\u043e\u043c\u043d\u043e\u0435 \u0441\u043f\u0430\u0441\u0438\u0431\u043e \u043d\u0430\u0448\u0438\u043c \u0443\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0438\u043d\u0441\u043a\u0438\u043c \u0434\u0440\u0443\u0437\u044c\u044f\u043c! \u0412\u044b \u0431\u044b\u043b\u0438 \u043d\u0435\u0432\u0435\u0440\u043e\u044f\u0442\u043d\u043e!<\/p>\n — — I have not heard explicitly, but I think all the hospitals were visited today and there wasn’t any sign of Dad there. [This was, at least,<\/strong> our second check, and this one was in person.]<\/p>\n Lack of sleep seems to have caught up to me, so I’m not as productive today as I might be. I’ll do my best to keep you updated on where things stand and what we’re planning – at least when I can.<\/p>\n I’ll try to post twice a day – generally coinciding with the start and end of the day in Kiev.

\nWe still need interpreters – and as we get into the working week, I suspect we’ll need more than are actually available. So, if you are able to translate [Russian\/Ukrainian\/English] that would be a great help. If you would please contact me [gregs@sloop.net] I’ll forward the offer on to the people in Kiev and they will contact you. Please give us an email address and a good phone number where we can reach you. We won’t publish your name, email address or phone number if you post it to the comments section either, I promise.<\/p>\n
\nI think the plan for the day on Monday in Kiev is to search or re-search the parks near-by that Dad was known to visit. [Excluding Zamkova park.] I suspect they may have been covered before, but we’ll look again – searching extra carefully in every place possible.<\/p>\n
