Οn December 27, 1998, Kemal Yalcin was in Volos to deliver the trousseau of Eleni and Sofia Minoglou to Giannis Minoglou and his family. Seventy-six years after the event, the girls’ dowry was thus returned to their descendants, fulfilling the promise made by the Yalcin family to their neighbours. Ramazan Yalcin used to say, “A dowry left behind should never be given away. A trousseau laden with sighs of grief cannot bring happiness to the girl who receives it.” Ramazan never forgot his childhood friend Safie, as he called Sofia Minoglou.
