And welcome back to WSHIT's Focus on Community, a follow-up on a story 22 years in the making.

Longtime Crab Apple residents will remember the short-lived but meaningful Russian exchange student program that tugged at the hearts and the souls of the citizens of this great township.

And some with a keen mind will recall the very first Russian exchange student,

42-year-old Roman Rachmanavoc.

Roman was just a rather fresh-faced middle-aged man studying opera at the local

community college of Grab Apple when he lost his chin, part of his tongue, and most of his nose

in a terrible massage-related accident at Tina Tanen-Twees. While Tina Tanen-in Tweed continues to deny culpability, Roman harbors no ill feelings and

made a triumphant return to the Crabapple Community Theater this afternoon to give

a rousing performance.

And with very little pun, Crabapple took this one on the chin. Here now,

Roman, with the Crabapple Community Volunteer Orchestra covering the Beatles, let it be. But I find myself in tribes of tribal, Mother Mary comes to me,

speaking quets of wisdom, let it be.

Until my arm and darkness,

He is standing right and follow me,

Speaking quets of wisdom,

Let it be,

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be,

wish of wisdom, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,

there is still the light and shined on me,

shall until tomorrow, let it be here.

I wake up to the sound of music
