Men of their word: Klitschko brothers make good a promise to visit East Village school
New York, Dec. 11 —
Two days ago, the students of St. George School and Academy were disappointed when
the expected appearance of super athletes Volodymyr and Vitali Klitschko did not take place.
But today, that disappointment was turned into radiant joy. The boxing duo made a special
effort to fit a visit to the school into their hectic schedules, and turned up despite the
inclement weather. The schoolchildren were all smiles when their heroes strode out on the auditorium stage
and let out a cheer that must have been heard throughout Manhattan.
On stage, the Klitschko's looked as much surprised as they were pleased by the warm reception given by the students.
The brothers took extra time out to sign as many autographs as humanly possible, and urged the kids
to diligently pursue their studies.
