Ever wonder what it would be like to grow up in a communist country?

Maria Malkasian, a native of Romania, spoke at the Republican Women of Clallam County meeting on Saturday, Feb. 25, 2017, 10 a.m. about life before, during and after communists took control of Romania.  The event was held in the conference room of the First Federal bank branch on W. Washington, in Sequim.

She shared her experiences about life in a small town near Bucharest, where live was extraordinarily difficult, and “everything was gray”.
