Likewise, if you put the name of the village and SKI RESORT into a search engine, you will find contact info for people who speak English there. The Georgian embassies will be flooded with condolences and I wouldn't expect mine to get through.
Helen, Thank you!
I was just getting frustrated because I emailed 8 or 9 journalists (some with the Vancouver Sun) yesterday and only got a reply from... one. And I haven't received useful info from her yet.
Thank you for the suggestion. It is tempting to just address it to David and Dodo Kharazishvili, or The Family of Nodar Kumaritashvili, Bakuriani, Georgia etc. It seems like it'd get there. I would think they'd be receiving a lot of mail now.
I believe that Nodar had a sister too and I don't want to exclude her. I'm unable to find her name so far. Does anyone know the name of Nodar's sister?
I know his uncle Felix is the coach of the Georgian luge team... or what's left of it.
The other thing I'll work on is sending something to Felix care of the Olympic Villiage once I get an address for that. But I don't want to depend on that working so I would only do that in parallel with something to the family in Georgia.
