Vladimír Rott—an extraordinary person, with the special gifts of cheerfulness, kind ness and a sense of humor; he attracts people to him and they become his lifelong friends.
Dear Rotts! It's a well-known fact: nothing is more valuable than appreciation. You have accomplished yet another mission —and you did it in just in the nick of time, you managed to show these elderly people that their life had purpose, and that everything wasrít just in vain. You gave them—perhaps, the crowning—and therefore, the most meaningful moments of happiness. I do not know who was more fortunate—he, to have had such a Student, or you, Vladimír,—to have a Teacher like hím; Both of you were lucky.
What you did—was fantastic, insanely great; its not even possible to teli people about this, because its just hard to believe. As a journalist, I ask that you speak with reporters from Toronto about this trip.
Keep well and the best of luck in all your endeavours.
