First Day In Bucharest


Bob and Margie Craig (above), master missionaries in Bucharest, Romania. I was shopping with them when Margie purchased two intricate statues made out of clay. The potter that created them assumed that I was their son, and gave me a small magnetic sculpture for free (was 25 lei)!

They took us to one of the beautiful parks in Bucharest.
Steve's lunch...pepperoni pizza


Landon and I had a Shaorma.


One of the fountains near three of the universities...We took some time to Share Jesus and our testimony with some of the young people there.

I saw this last year as Troy zipped by the National Theatre.

Two young ladies we spoke to, Daniella and Nikoletta, two language students at the university.
Daniella was born four days before my daughter Whitney.

Some of the old men playing chess in the park.


In the park they e=were having a celebration with booths and entertainment of music and dance.

The first was June 2, 1984, where I beat Joe Fang and Jim Rizzitano in rounds 1-2 of the Summer Grand Prix, held at Boston College. Until that day I thought I was doomed forever to lose against these guys, but some part of me took a wild swing and connected. The following day I lost to John Curdo and to a very talented up and coming 12-year old named Ilya Gurevich.The second was on July 31, 2004, where at the Continental Open in Sturbridge I beat in succession Sergei Kudrin and Alex Wojokiewicz (and almost beat Jim Rizzitano again until he uncorked a neat stalemate combination in the final minutes of the sudden death time control). I was completely freaked out, I wasn't supposed to be able to do this!! The following day like before I was brought down to earth by losing to Leonid Yudasin and Hikaru Nakamura.
