A Kralovec child finally makes the Honor Roll! Ocean’s academic average of 6.125 qualified her for the Principal’s Honor Roll. She had her last day of Grade 10 yesterday. We were proud of the hard work she put in to reach this level. Owen also made the Dean’s List at Northern Michigan University last semester, so things are looking up on the academic front for the Kralovec children.
Last night I took a tour of a new warehouse in Tashkent. My friend Phillip hosted an American Chamber of Commerce Business Mixer which included the tour. Balton Trading is a distributor of groceries, supplying over 20,000 stores in Uzbekistan. The state-of-art warehouse uses solar power and has many high tech features. My big takeaway from the experience was I never think about the logistics of putting something into my grocery cart. The amount of work that goes into the convenience of finding a product at a grocery store is a lot! It reminded me of shopping at Costco as the place was massive. It was cool that the company supplies not only the big supermarket chains (Korzinka, Makro) but also the smaller mahalla stores. Thanks Philip for an enjoyable evening.
