I am so excited. I just received this photo containing my Russian Grandmother from an old family friend. # 6 is or was my Grandmother.

I believe this photo was taken in Serbia while my Grandmother was becoming a nurse after her escape from Bolshevik Russia. This picture was published in a book that I do not have the title of at hand now, but it clearly shows my Grandmother was Princess & a woman of great substance.

Dr. Gray, a woman, was apparently responsible for helping my Grandmother & her sister complete medical training & travel to to the US. I would not be here were it not for Dr. Gray. I will have to research her & learn more about this particular angel of mercy from the early 1900s.

It is so fantastic to learn about these strong women, who existed even back then when it was not a woman's world. They are my heroes & my legacy.
