Interesting travel article on our wooden churches in Europe. I didn't know this little tidbit.

Quote:
The area is also believed to have been the only province of the Soviet Union that was ever governed by an American, Gregory Zatkovich, an ethnic Rusyn — or Ruthenian — from Pittsburgh who was appointed governor in 1920 when the region was still part of Czechoslovakia.

Steve,

Thanks for the article - and hopefully those who read it clicked on the embedded link titled a project to see 'Wooden Churches of Ukraine'. I remember that we've seen at least one such website previously, but I don't think it was this one - lots of beautiful photos, some pages available in both English and Ukrainian, and information on a few very interesting looking texts on the subject.

Many years,

Neil
