| Four years ago we hosted a student to Tacoma from Vladivostok, and have visited in the summer of 1996, and again in 1997. We keep in touch with Alexandra by mail, and by Far Eastern Shipping Company merchant seamen who visit Port of Tacoma. |

| I have just spent a week on the Pallada sailing from Melbourne Australia to Sydney. I very much enjoyed meeting with and talking to the Russian crew on the ship. Vladivostock should be very proud of the young men who are fortunate enough grow through their experience on the ship and their officers who guide and instruct them so thoroughly. |

| Vasch razkaz about rats in NYC was very interesting. As an ex-New Yorker I know your story is factual. Here we have a problem with fire ants and termites! That is the price one must pay not to have winter weather. |
