Dear Paula,

I was deeply saddened to learn of your father's death. He was a man of enormous intellect, energy and commitment to a better world. He has left America a splendid legacy - both in his own work and in his two daughters.

warm regards,

To the Family of Lev E. Dobriansky:

I wish to express my sincerest sympathy to the family upon the passing of Dr. Dobriansky. I was a student of his at Georgetown University over 50 years ago and I recall his classes vividly. He was a very articulate teacher, a man of strong beliefs, and a sardonic sense of humor. He was very kind to me as a student and I remember him with great esteem and fondness.

I will always treasure my memory of Lev and may God bless you in your time of grief.

I wish to offer my deepest sympathy for your loss.

Lev was a consummate teacher, a revered mentor and a vivid christian example. The world has lost a great man who had the courage and persistence to help free the Captive Nations from the tyranny of Communism.

I thank him for all that he gave me.

Our prayers are with your family.
