WHIPPANY, N.J. – Never did I expect that a historical event would make history a second time 102 years later.
On Saturday, February 29, our Saturday School of Ukrainian Studies (Ridna Shkola) in Whippany, N.J., and the Plast Ukrainian Scouting Organization branch of Newark, N.J., which is based in Whippany, gave Plast scouts the opportunity to once again learn about the Battle of Kruty.
With the help of Plast senior counselor Roman Shyprykevych and in conjunction with Ridna Shkola, a Skype meeting was arranged for us to learn more about this significant battle in Ukrainian history. The Skype meeting took place in the main hall at the Ukrainian American Cultural Center of New Jersey in Whippany where we Plast scouts attend Ridna Shkola.
