Ognen was a Graceland University graduate from Macedonia.  A good friend, husband, and father of two beautiful young children.  He had a brilliant mind and a deep appreciation of literature, language, and the humanities.  He died a couple of days ago, way too young. But even in that short period on Earth he left a lasting trace in his Nation's culture.  Every time anyone walks into a Macedonian bookstore or a library - they would find his legacy.  We would like to do what we can to help his children and young widow at this difficult time.
