d Trans World Airlines as a pilot and, despite two furloughs totaling 13-years, I finally checked out as Captain and flew throughout Europe and the MiddleEast. I retired from TWA in 2001 just before American Airlines bought their remains at 10 cents on the dollar.
I met my current (tri-lingual, Ukranian) wife in Cairo, Egypt and got married in Cairo. Olga attained her B.S. in Business Management at the University of Arizona and is currently attending an International Marketing MBA university in Lyon, France.
Currently living in Lyon, France and will be here until about mid-2004.
