This is me with my wife Dora Falevich in Slutsk in 1960. I returned from the army and studied at the college in Minsk.

I had known Dora since school. We were in the same class and we were friends. Dora was a Jew and also came from Slutsk.

After school Dora entered the Minsk College of Finance and Economics. I returned from the army in 1957, worked till the academic year began, and in 1958 resumed my studies in the same college. Dora finished college before I did.

She returned to Slutsk and worked as an accountant. Our older son Boris was born in 1958. Slutsk is not far from Minsk, and I visited my family on weekends. I finished college in 1961.
