had a dear friend that taught communications at a state agriculture college. her story was that her ancestors were recruited (as jews?) from jewmany to come to the ukraine and grow wheat for the Czar. they did, and loved it. a bit later, in fast forward, the czar was deposed. they gathered their stuff and migrated through france by train to america. in new york city, they procured train tickets to the pacific northwest (washington state) where they bought up wheat farm land and established a new life.
one of the daughters, my friend, attended Berkeley back in the late 60's. and then got half-right in carbondale illinois ag. school before moving south towards the Truth.
now, retirees in the mtns of western north carolina, i guess you could call her a survivor.
