I will try to update this section as often as possible, and would appreciate anyone's contributions. If you have anything to add - please e-mail me at "nicolae_brocolae@hotmail.com", or leave the news in the guest-book.

18TH APRIL- LITTLE ALEXEI'S GODFATHER
Margarett Catalini has recently given me the following information that she found at International GYMNAST Online:
World all-around champion Ivan Ivankov, from Belarus, reported to International GYMNAST that he was recently named the godfather to good friend Alexei Nemov's young son. Ivankov said that he and his girlfriend Suzy visited Nemov in Russia several weeks ago. During the visit, Nemov and his wife, Galina, named the couple as godparents to their son, Alexei, who was born last September.
While father Alexei was in Australia for the Olympics, Suzy was present with Galina for the birth of Alexei Jr.
