Many of our friends from Odessa have come there, and we are very lonesome for them. *' . You good people of Omaha have saved pur lives. From the time you met us at the airport, even though we did not know any English, we knew you were all our wonderful American family. You did for us all the things a family does, and after one year, because of you, we are becoming real Americans. You gave us the start here that we know we would not have gotten any place else. We will never forget you. Thank youi good-bye, and God bless you.
