My wife's father came to America from Slovenia when he was 16. He served in the U.S. Army during WW II and made use of the GI Bill to open a successful business. We would like to go there sometime in the coming years to see where he came from......unfortunately, he is no longer with us. He loved sharing stories about his growing up in Slovenia.
