Wanted to say hello........

[blackjacks53]

Just wanted to say hello to the members of the board. As for myself, 53 year old male and living in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I have been following Jack Bragg's First Dream site for a few years and have always been fascinated by Eastern Europe. Both my parents are second generation Lithuanians, grandparents immigrated in the early 1900's/  My paternal grandfather figured it would be a better option to come to the USA rather than be forced into the Czar's army. Would love to make a trip to Lithuania someday and see the sights.  As for now, just need to sort through all that is available, and keep my eyes and ears open.  I don't really know how I feel about the relationship issue, although I do realize it is a adventure that is best served with information and a healthy war chest.  Thanks for allowing me to join your board, I look forward to all that is here.

Welcome Blackjack and I hope you hae a nice stay here. Lithuania is now very accessible as part of the European Union, there is not much holding you back on that visit.
