Dear Com. Alexander Pshenichnyy
Thanks a lot from the deep-inside of my heart for making me 40 years younger through your kindest father Com. Vitaly Evanovich Pshenichnyy, who taught me Russian language aboard the Ship Navarin during our voyage to Antarctica in 1971-1973, as he was knowing English very well, being the 1st/2nd Mate of the Ship. I still remember my steering the course of that Ship under his supervision in and around the Antarctic waters, and the lots of apples which he used to give me as refreshments, etc. I now wish to keep in touch with him, and will write to him more later on.
With best regards and lots of thanks
Yours sincerely

Dear Dr. Parmjit Singh Sehra,
I think you might know my father — Vitaly Pshenichnyy — you met almost forty years ago in Antarctica.
He used to tell me about you, he still remembers you very well. I promised him to try to find you via internet, so today my Google search was quite successful, I hope.
He would be happy to hear from you, he retired few years ago and now lives in a small village in the South of Russia taking care of bees, close to Black sea.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
I enclose two pictures from that time, where you and my father are together.
With kindest regards,
Alexander Pshenichnyy
