    Could it be Russel is Jewish. He came from Belarus in 1993 – it was a time then most immigrants from that region were Jewish.

    I am asking it for only one reason. If he is, we need to find out his Jewish name to mention it in Mishe Berach. He is the one who really needs most of prayers. The other officer will recover surely, thank g-d.
