By one of those quirks of fate, Leonas Raciunas was in the cemetery freshening his father's grave at the same time as we were visiting Vaiva's grave. The Raciunas and Vebra families are doubly linked by marriage. Vaiva's father's first wife was a Raciunas, and his own sister married the brother of his wife. I'll have to look up the exact relationship on genii, but in Lithuania Leonas is a cousin.
I well remember meeting him on my first Vilnius visit in 1980.
