VISITS TO SLOVAKIA.

From Nov. 2, to Nov. 21 of this year Olga (Bies) Stevenson made a sentimental journey to the place of her birth . She visited relatives in Myjava., Kostlne, Stara Tura , Hodulov and Hrashne Vrchs, the ancesteral home of the Bies , Hucko, Kostka , and Stancik Clans of Canada and the U.S.A.

When Olga recuperates from her trip perhaps she could be persuaded to write something for our next Bradlo Memories issue. We are anxious to hear about her experiences and special moments.

Olga used the services of Tatra -Travel of Toronto which is owned by a former Bradlo Slovak Anna ( Sevc) Zapletal.
