Sep 24, 1985 At 5:45 AM the bus took us to the airport to catch the Swissair flight to Zurich and then New York. Getting through customs was free of hassles.


Followup About a year later I had a business trip to Seattle and had dinner with Yvonne & Helga. They told me that recently they had gone to a local mountain climbing meeting and a group of Russian climbers were introduced. They were surprised to see Lonya and had a nice visit with him. Lonya told them that Taya had left Sasha for an American climber and was now living in the US.
