Greene County welcomes Miss Valentina Kolsenik the first displaced person arriving in the area. She traveled from the American Zone in Germany via Bremerhaven to the United States and will live with Ruth and Clovis Owen in Bloomfield. Kolsenik, born 1923 in Schachin Ukraine, endured German labor, learned English, and hopes to become an American citizen while assisting her host family.
