In London, I met Birute!
Such pleasant surprises when traveling– in London, I met Birute (an unmistakably Lithuanian name)!
Not only a pleasure to meet a fellow Lithuanian, but she loaned me some lovely Lithuanian books which contained some inspiring thoughts and poems — a few photos of the pages below, for those who read Lithuanian.
For those who do not, I will post translations and more photos after my return to Madison.
Aciu labai, Birute! (Surasiu lietuviskus fontus sugrizus i Amerika).
God bless, and enjoy!
Syte Reitz grew up in Queens, New York, in a family of Lithuanian immigrants who fled Nazi and Soviet domination during World War II. Her education includes a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, and post-doctoral work at Princeton University. Syte left her job as an Assistant Professor at Oakland University, Michigan, to devote herself to raising her children, and ultimately homeschooled them through the end of high school. She is a member of Madison's Cathedral Parish.
