Remembering Samantha Smith - Journey to Maine

[peacetraveler22]

Hello dear readers! I know many of you voted for me to travel to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, but unfortunately finances are tight and airfare there too expensive. So, in a week, I'll return to my beloved Maine and go on another road journey to New England. During the trip, I plan on meeting with Samantha Smith's mother in Boothbay Harbor. What questions do you want me to ask her?

I've had no time for the blog recently due to a hectic work and life schedule. :(  However, next week I'll show you "good Russia," with stories about Kazan and Ples from the winter journey. In the meantime, please let me know what questions you have for Samantha's mom. I'm happy I can finally leave the office for a week, meet with her, and relax in the beautiful surroundings of cozy New England. Does the younger generation in Russia know about Samantha's legacy? How do they learn about her? Or, is she mostly known to those who grew up during the Soviet period? I think her mother will be interested in knowing these facts. :) Have a nice weekend!

Hi Shannon.
Planning on visiting North Carolina at some point?

Hi! I was just in North Carolina last month, because I have a client in Greensboro. Is it near where you live? I travel to this city a few times a year.

Yep, I'm between Greensboro and Winston-Salem.

Cool! I will try to remember next time I'm there on business, because I'm usually free and bored in the evenings. It would be great to meet for a drink!

Absolutely!

Btw, how do you have the patience to argue with all those people who climbed into the comments of that post in the pora-valit community today? I tried to reason with a few of them, but then gave up. :) Only for the brave and strong!

It's only because I don't comment too often. If you do it rarely enough it's actually kind of entertaining. But you're right, it quickly becomes annoying, arguing with idiots on the internet truly is a waste of time.
