Starmeša gaismā Dr. Roberts Ozols

Starmeša gaismā šodien viesojas mūsu ASV kolēģis Dr. Roberts Ozols.
Te būs viņa stāstījums.
"My personal story mirrors that of many Latvian families who left Latvia during WW II. My father (Robert) was a high school teacher in Riga and my mother (Marina) was a dentist. By a stroke of luck they missed being deported to Siberia after the Russian invasion. I was born in July 1944 behind the front and again, mostly by luck, my mother and I were able to get to Riga and my family left Latvia in October 1944. Th journey to Germany was difficult as were the last months of the war in Frankfurt and then 6 years in displaced persons camp. We came to America in 1950 and while it was not easy at first, we did live the "American Dream". While my father and mother could never resume their professional careers in America, they raised 3 kids and had a comfortable happy life. My wife Jeanne and I will celebrate our 49th wedding anniversary this month and have 3 children and 3 grandchildren--and another one on the way.
