Just found this group. Thought I'd drop by and say hello. My name is Ross. I live in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. I grew up in Indiana, then I joined the United States Marine Corps. I studied Russian at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA. Later I studied in Garmisch, Germany, and at Moscow State University. I worked with the language for quite a few years. Now I'm trying to get back into it. Haven't had any contact with the language for 8 years now.

Anyway, just wanted to drop by and introduce myself.
