It will be Easter weekend for the Romanians of the Orthodox Christian faith.  Hence, today I had the following chat with my former star student, Alina Meda Sime (AKA, Doamna Boeru):

• Duncan C. McDougall

  • Hi, Alina. Paste fericit!

  Alina Meda Sime

  • thank you very much! as well to you

• 
  

  • I guess you had Easter last sunday , no?
• 
  

  • I cannot say yes. I did not go to church, and I cannot go to the Orthodox services Saturday night, either, because I am teaching all weekend. So I will have to say "Adevarat a înviat!" in a private way. But, He will still hear. Nu este aşa?
• 
  

  • asa este:)
  • you are still good in Romanian!
• 
  

  • I will be staying and teaching at the hotel where Alexandru Mican works. The Silver Fox Inn in Waterville Valley.
  • I am learning more Romanian each week. Prof. Alexandra Muțiu is now teaching me here, as well as two UBB grads in our MBA program, and Alexandru.
  • I am holding you and your family in my most special thoughts. May God keep you well and thriving.
