Dear Dave, Elena, and the Staff of Anastasia,
After going through a divorce, and at 48 years of age, I found myself back out in the dating field from bars to singles gatherings, etc. As a result of all this I've had many disappointments over the past two years, and was ready to give up the whole idea of finding anyone.
Then my younger brother came across an ad on how to meet beautiful Russian ladies and ordered a catalogue published by Anastasia, an International Correspondence Service. Shortly afterward he received the Volume 5 catalogue.
I could not believe all the beautiful ladies in the catalogue. From that moment on my life has been a dream come true. I then began looking through the catalogue for ladies I would like to meet in person. After going through the catalogue several times, I always seemed to focus on Page 34, Number 340, Natalia. Since I am not much of a person for writing letters, I signed up for the June - 1996 tour to Moscow offered by Anastasia in order to meet Natalia in person, rather than corresponding with her by letter over a lengthy period of time.
Anastasia made arrangements for me to meet Natalia in person in Moscow. For the first three days as part of the tour Anastasia offers three socials which provide an excellent opportunity for the participants to meet Russian ladies. It was very nice that we were able to meet so many beautiful ladies. As for me, it was on the second of these socials that I met Natalia. I spent most of that day with her and into the late evening getting to know as much as possible about her. Unfortunately, our meeting was cut short because the next day she received an emergency phone call and had to return home. I finished the 10-day tour and met many more other nice ladies but I knew I was focused on Natalia. I returned home and kept in touch with her by fax and letter.
Then I returned to Russia for the second time on the September Tour and was re-united with Natalia in Moscow. After spending a few days with her we decided to apply for a Fiancée Visa though the Immigration Attorney, Larry Holmes, who was available at the tour for that purpose. He was very good in making the necessary arrangements for this visa.
It was very hard to say good-bye to Natalia in Moscow and return home. But on December 5, 1996, I anxiously waited for Natalia at the San Fransisco Airport in which a dream come true. Natalia and I were married Feb. 22, 1997, and have made our home on our farm outside Moses Lake, Washington. We are very happy.
I again want to thank Dave, Elena, and also Larry Holmes for everything.
P.S. For all of you gentlemen looking to meet nice, beautiful ladies; go with Anastasia.
