On Friday morning, at the elementary school, Elena Skhortladze again took a lead role in the discussion with fifth, sixth and seventh grade students. Vladimir Lubomudrov, wearing his distinctive fur hat, was an immediate hit when he chose to sit on the floor with a group of students rather than in the chairs reserved for the Soviet guests.

Several of the guests commented on how impressed they were with the freedom and openness with which the students participated, and how eager they were with their questions. Several times Elana Skhortladze was nearly overwhelmed with responses when she waded into the audience with the microphone.

After lunch, the group went to Culpeper for a tour of the Keller Manufacturing Co., a furniture manufacturer. Ivan Boitsov questioned why the workers did not wear respirators or masks while working. “Don’t they realize they’re poisoning themselves?” he asked.

Others found it interesting that the workers did hot stop their tasks to stare as the group walked through the plant. That brought an opportunity for the guests to be familiarized with the American concept of piecework.

Following that tour, the group toured the Culpeper Star-Exponent with Lisa Currie, a Rappahannock resident who works at the newspaper. They were presented with autographed books by author Dr. John Dailey.
