It was 1999 when the Shala family first met Bill Clinton.
He was still president when he visited the refugee camp in Macedonia, where the Albanian family of 30 fled after war pushed them out of Kosovo, their southeast European home near Serbia.....................
............"Clinton, refugee Kosovo," he yelled in broken English. "I love you.
I love you.
Thank you."
It took the former president a few moments to catch on to what was happening. Then Raif Shala showed him the photo.
"He put on his reading classes and said he remembered my family and our children," the patriarch said. "Then he hugged us."...........................
