Son Ali, a first year Dentistry student in Sanaa, Yemen, is a geography genius. Yesterday night, while reading about your Lithuanian background, I couldn't locate Lithuania, so told the wife to dial Ali, and asking him where Lithuania is on the map, he gave a tirade from which I could catch that Lithuania is a poor country liberated from the USSR in 1989 and it is situated between Poland and Sweden. Because Ali knows about my immigration project, he thought I was thinking of going to Lithuania, so he exclaimed: "What would you do in Lithuania!", a remark that reminded me of Hemingway's Killimanjaro dead leopard which no one knew what it was doing in those altitudes
