Welcoming Remarks Delivered During Baltic Unity Day at Priedaine (Latvian Club) in Freehold, NJ on October 13, 2018.

Greetings fellow Balts and Baltic-Americans. We, as humans, often package things into groups of three, or we find them in nature and faith. We like trios. Triumvirates. Think of a three piece suit; the atom consisting of protons, neutrons, and electrons; the holy trinity consisting of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; and of course, the heavenly New Jersey breakfast sandwich consisting of pork roll, egg, and cheese.
