Hi Lauren, I'm so sorry I didn't see your question earlier. I feel terrible. After the Pens drafted Jagr, he spoke of defecting from what was Czechoslovakia at the time, whose government was a puppet of the Soviet Union. He said he dreamed of a better life in a free world his entire childhood, and that he carried around a picture of Ronald Reagan, keeping it a different school book every year, as a reminder of the USA and the hope it brought him. And that is how I conceived of the Boy from Reactor 4. Happy New Year. orest

Wow, you have me at a loss. I vaguely remember writing something like that, but when I searched all my documents I couldn't find it. Which leaves me wondering whether I ever wrote it, or simply locate it . . . Thank you for reaching out.
