Billy Logue has been delivering babies in Łódź, Poland. After earning his medical degree last year in Łódź, he has been sampling various medical specialties. In his spare time, Billy has been developing plans to open Poland’s first country music bar.

“I fell in love with country music after Gilman at Vanderbilt (in Nashville),” he writes. “My dream is to invite American bands here to expose the Polish people to the genre. They’ve never really heard country music.” For details, check out “Bring Johnny Cash to Poland” on GoFundMe.

Billy observed more Ukrainians coming into his city after their country was invaded. “The Polish people have exhibited an incredible mix of faith, humility, and generosity,” he writes. Reflecting on his time at Gilman, he added, “I feel blessed to have been surrounded by so many amazing people. It was a challenging, formative time, and among my proudest experiences.”
