An amazing Parisian dinner at Bistro Vivienne. Only thing missing was Catherine. We’re going to fix that next time I am in Paris. ❤️🍷

The Big Band at Le Caveau de les Huchette

After an early Sunday departure on the day of Pentecost it was on to Paris from Kyiv. So many fresh memories of new friends and widened and deepened collaboration.

In Paris I visited Montmartre for lunch, then a lovely dinner at Bistro Vivienne and then a memorable jazz show at Le Caveau de les Huchette. A famous Parisian jazz club. It was big band night. Excellent music and amazing ambience and history at this club

Now, Monday, June 5 it is back to Nashville, where the Predators are playing game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals in a city turned upside down with fervor for our team.

This day of meetings was a joy. An amazing story of three Ukrainian Americans (their parents Ukrainian).  Dr. Goy practices in Los Angeles. His mission of passion to help his parent’s native land and to help the Suprun’s in all their efforts

The Supruns helped critically ill victims of shooting at the Maidan in 2014. The President of Ukraine made them Ukraine citizens in recognition of their efforts. Now Dr. Ulana Suprun is the Minister of Health. Husband Marko is helping especially with efforts to teach and equip soldiers to treat battlefield casualties.

Dr. Goy has the passion to help and teach in Ukraine. We had a great time sharing.  Read More…
