My grand father Eduard Petrovich Altunov
was born in 1922 on July 22 in Tbilisi capital of Georgia.
His father was a teacher and then became a journalist in
one of the main newspaper in Georgia.
My grandfather always dreamed to become a Pilate and
because of that attended into flying academy in Moscow.
In 1941 when war started my grandfather was one of the
first who was sent to fight. He was sent to Rastov and
then from there he was sent to Tigiran. He came back
in 1946. As soon as he came back he continued the work
of his father and became a journalist and worked in
newspaper called �Tbilisi Times� as a redactor.
Unfortunately when I was born he wasn�t not alive but
I hear a lot about him from my parents and their friends
who new him. I know that during the World War II he was
fighting bravely and only skill and god will, saved his
life there. My grandfather was a very educated man and
he had a lot of friend because he of his honesty and
kindness to everybody. He also was a good musician and
could play on many instruments but sadly I cant hear
him playing. I will always remember my grandfather.
