>have lived here the last five years. We have two sons named Nate
>(4) and Karcher (3). Siberia, and area bigger than the U.S., does
>indeed have a long history as a place of exile and imprisonment,
>but it is also very beautiful, and filled with adventure for the
>hearty of soul. However, this winter has been brutal, with the
>coldest temperatures in 50 years, to -50 Celsius. We count it a
>great privilege to live and work here and have developed a real
>love for Russian people as well as their rich history, literature,
>and culture.
