Just a fore note that I GREATLY appreciate the assistance from so many people on the Lviv Chat Channel, a working Ukrainian chat channel, based in the city of Lviv Ukraine. In this chat, found that many Lviv chat members from all over the world come here to keep current news of the city they used to live in and check on their relatives, and of course there are other chat members that currently do live in Lviv that check on their relatives outside of Ukraine. These people had provided me with valuable information in preparation for my visit to Lviv. All had been very helpful, especially to this American citizen, with an sign-in nickname of "arizona", who always popped in on this chat channel asking a lot of questions, and most of the time being the only one who could not communicate in Ukrainian.

Of special note are the following people that were of most valuable assistance, and who I continue to correspond with to date:

Of special note is Kathy and Bill Clark's well written adventure of their two trips to Ukraine in the past few years. One should really go to the following web site and take time to read of this well written biography:

Sit back and enjoy the reading.

(And since I enjoyed their article so well, used a format similar to theirs to write a biography of my trip to Lviv)

THANKS KATHY AND BILL!!!!
