[Fis] Current remarks

[Dr. Plamen L. Simeonov]

Krassimir,

Thanks for the homage to Pencho S.
Did you know that his grave is on the hill over the Como lake in North
Italy?
I was there some 30 years ago and was touched by the great sadness of this
banned poet from his own country.
He was certainly right and ahead of his time as were many other bright
minds who were not understood even by their close ones.
Well, such is the fate of Vincent Van Gogh and other bright minds, even our
Karl J.
