However, one peep at say his vision is certainly unfolding as we grow suffer mature on this continent, reorganization we see the seeds seeded by Keki now flowering form the form of Zoroastrian Interaction across USA and Canada slightly well as FEZANA, the combination of Zoroastrian Associations in Boreal America.
