And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

My father's father was medical doctor and university professor at Moscow. Then the bolshevik came. He fled with family to Estonia then the U.S. Saved only pictures of life. He built an exquisite 3 story Elizabethan home with servants and nursenaida for five children. All destroyed.
I think we could connect with a good cigar and a dram of good Irish whisky.
