‘American dream'

CATO - For 82-year-old Nella Kalinowski, fate has certainly worked in mysterious ways.

Events in Kalinowski's life have seen her have both parents taken from her during the Russian Revolution, forced into slavery in a German work camp, reunited with her father, then met the man who would become her husband before moving to the United States - all before the age of 25.

Last Saturday evening at Cato Union Church on East Main Street, Kalinowski, whose son and daughter-in-law are church members, told her amazing story at a meeting of the church's Women to Women fellowship group.
