And that's where the handle White Eagle comes from.
my dad was born in the US in 1917, and my Ukrainian grandmother married my Polish grandfather, so they obviously met in Pittsburgh. my dad had cousins born here that went back to the Ukraine, and the woman was actually raped by Bolshevik soldiers. but came back, had several PhDs from the U of Pittsburgh, but was mentally disturbed, understandably so. i think she was manic depressive and would periodically go off her meds and act up.
