1. That is so heartening!

The Ukrainians I know are industrious and have strong work ethic. I wish mb someday our church community could host some families.

2. I've always hoped that my community could host some Ukrainian families as well

As for Utica, my mother grew up quite near there and it's an area where there are a lot of immigrant families. As you know, my mother's family was Polish and many of the families I remember were either Polish or Italian.

6. That is very cool, my mother grew up in Little Falls, Utica was the "big city!"

And Utica was also the closest city to my college - I'm a graduate of Hamilton College in Clinton, NY. When my family came to visit we'd go to Manny's Delicatessen in Utica - which my Dad liked so much that he'd stop there if he had to go to Syracuse (both my parents graduated from Syracuse University) on business. Small world!
