Elena Haliulin
My family is forever grateful for the friendship and support of Viktor and Natasha and the Ponomarenko family. When we emigrated to the US, I was 8 and recall driving from NY to Ohio with Viktor and Natasha to our new home - it was one of my first, fond memories of being in this country. The Ponomarenko's were always willing to help and be there as friends. Over the years as I grew up, there were many times that my parents, my brother and I were guests at their home and we always felt at home and welcome. Thank you and much respect.
