On September 27, 1995 Mr. Michael Roman died, just 3 weeks before his 83rd birthday. Mr. Roman was the editor of GCU's newspaper Amerikansky Russky Viestnik, later the GCU Messenger, from 1936 to 1980. Even after retirement, Mr. Roman continued to write. He was an invaluable source on Rusin history. His funeral was served by an archbishop, ten priests and over 200 faithful.
