Sofia, Bulgaria - July 1959  Here I am at the age of three and a half with my uncle Boubi and my mother.  Although that building in the back looks like a church, it’s not.  It’s actually a public bath house!  According to my mother, I was the “best dressed kid in Sofia”.  That was really an understatement: I was probably the best dressed kid in the entire country!  Of course, this would not have been possible if it had not been for the generosity of my uncle Stephane and aunt Lil who sent many packages to my family in Bulgaria all the way from the United States.
