    Always wondered if you had greek origins. I follow Jake Tapper on CNN
    and I enjoy your calmness during heated up debates!

    • I am very friendly with the Psaki family, a very athletic Alexandrian Greek family, with roots in Messinia I wonder if her father has any connection with them

    To Jennifer Psaki,

    Congratulations on your new job in the White House.
    I read in your CV that your father comes from Messinia, Greece.

    Q: Could you please elaborate where exactly from Messinia ? (i.e. village, municipality if possible). I consider very important to keep and cultivate the links.
