Victor,
I wonder if you and I were on the first Canadian-Soviet teacher’s ice hockey team. I will always remember that we were unbeatable. Take care. With love, Neil Hunter, Dean of Studies, AHUWC, USA/Canada

Well, Bro!
It has been a fascinating 2 years. And we have done some good things together in Montezuma and in Las Vegas.
Thanks for your help and your patience.
You will be glad to be back in Moscow after 2 sometimes difficult years here.
And it is also a good time for me to leave.
We shall meet again, maybe in Italy for the Mundial, maybe in Moscow.
But we shall get together again and talk about old good times in New Mexico.
I will never forget you keeping soccer ball on the back of your neck Maradona style.
Spaceba por todos.
Ciao, Kip Sumner, Math Teacher, AHUWC, USA/Canada
 
Dear Victor,
It has been a deep pleasure to meet you and share your vast soccer expertise. Flamengo and I are most grateful. I wish you and your wife the best in your return to the USSR. Your, Gregor, AHUWC, Brasil

Victor,
The 2 years are already over. I’m gonna miss you a lot.
I always remember the funny, talented soccer player who loved making fun.  You were really cool.
Ahmed, AHUWC, Egypt

Victor,
