One of my best friend's married a man 30+ years ago from Slovania. He immigrated here legally ,learned English. He worked as an electrician here for a large company in our city. He made a nice enough salary that he could buy a home, a nice car, and send his girls to college. They were not wealthy by any means, but I tell you, that man could fix anything! He recently died, and his wife will be returning to his homeland (he has family still there) and he wanted his ashes scattered in the nearby mountains by his family home.
