Chris Grier writes to tell us that he has finally moved permanently to Carefree, Ariz. He is still with Capgemini as a senior manager, focusing on electrical utility asset and work management. Last winter, he spent six weeks in the Ukraine, working with the people who run the utility in suburban Kiev. Chris tells us that, like many things from the former Soviet Union, the electrical utility infrastructure has been left to deteriorate, but that Kiev is a beautiful city. If you have not had the opportunity to visit Kiev, treat yourself and plan a vacation to this beautiful city, he advises. The people are wonderful and the city has many beautiful churches. Chris tells us a quick story of "pure free enterprise." While in Kiev, he met an older lady who was the seventh generation of herbalists to provides cures at the local market.
