Mimi-Matilda Petkova with her grandsons

This photo was taken in Sofia in 2002, when my grandson Ognyan Petkov turned 22. From right to left: the boy bending over is Ognyan, who recently finished his higher education in economics of the military industry. He now works for Europe TV: he writes down news in three languages and reads them. Next to him is Valeri, the second son of my son Georgi. He is quite wild and disobedient. I am next to him and my youngest grandson Stefan Penchev, the son of my daughter Tatyana Pencheva, nee Petkova, is beside me. He is twelve years old here.
