Kuchersky and Pavlov still
have 50 relatives in Russia,
but neither have any desire in
returning to visit the Soviet
Union. Kuchersky writes his
relatives letters about his life
and accomplishments in-

rich, where a poor man can-
not succeed."
Kuchersky quickly adds,
"As long as you are willing to

you desire. It is always ex-
citing."

Robert Kass, a tax partner with the Detroit law firm of Barris, Scott, Denn &
Driker, will discuss ways to stretch your college funding dollars on April 4th at 7:00

costs are rising faster than inflation, many loan sources have dried up, and tax laws
including the new 'kiddie tax' have penalized children's savings accounts.
Mr. Kass, an experienced estate planner, will clearly point out the relative ad-
vantages and disadvantages of various funding alternatives, including the new Series
EE U.S. Savings Bond, the Michigan Education Trust, irrevocable trusts, zero coupon
