Sasha Chislenko visited Houston for three days at Christmas, 1999. We had hours of great conversation his first afternoon here.

That night, we went to Dick Garrett's 70th birthday party. Dick is Anthea's cousin's husband.

The next day, we took the opportunity for a small meeting of some of the Textropians.
