On Wednesday, July 19, we had the last meetup of Chicago PUG before going on a summer break, and I could not be happier with how it went. We had the pleasure of hosting Shaun Thomas, one of the first Chicago PUG members. In fact, he has been a member since September 2011, and he attended the very first Chicago PUG meetup, the one I could not attend :)).

Shaun presented at our meetups so many times that I lost count, and he was always a great contributor to our discussions.

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.
