I had heard nothing from Vladan Dugariæ until I got a long e-mail yesterday. He was mobilized into the army a month ago and is stationed outside of Belgrade as a lookout for aircraft and cruise missles. He says it is mostly boring and there is not much to eat and no clean water. He hasn't gotten paid yet. He gets to go home some weekends and sent the e-mail from there. He says he has over a month of LUG mail that he hasn't had time to read. He hopes that the bombing will cease on May 24th, the 60th day of bombing. He also hopes that his unit will not be sent into combat. He has taken documentary photos of the people stationed with him and his equipment and hopes to share them with us someday. He laments that one of the landmarks of Begrade, the Tower of Avala, no longer exists because it was bombed. He asks me to wish him luck. I ask you to pray for him, if you are so inclined, or to wish him luck, in any case. So strange to get e-mail from someone in the middle of a war.
