        This is a good time to update everyone on what is
        happening here. As most of you know, I got a call from
        Boris' niece right after the holidays. It turns out,
        after our conversation, that he is not my birthfather.
        She told me all the descrepancies in the information. He
        was 10 years older, short as opposed to tall and had a
        strong accent coming from Macedonia. He was never from
        Elryia or worked at the Breaker's Hotel. There were other
        things too. Also, he passed away last year.
        I sent her a copy of the picture I had, which she sent to
        an aunt, who confirmed that it wasn't him. The reason
        that I believe her is that she offered to help me find
        out who the man in the picture was so I can find him. One
        of these Saturday's I'm going to Kent University to
        search their yearbooks for the man in the picture. The
        aunt said that he was a student there and lived in a
        boarding house run by Boris at the time.
        I should have known that things were going too easy. I
        will accept no barriers though. I will break them all
        down. Running into this only makes my convictions
        stronger.
        Also, the niece expressed a desire to meet me when I go
        to Kent. I think I'm going to take her up on it since she
        has been so nice about all of this.
