Top to Bottom: Kremlin Façade 1969 (note the changes); St. Basil's Cathedral under renovation 1969; Our guide, Sacha, negotiating our entry to Lenin's Mausoleum (Skip says he told the guards we were American dissidents-- so we were able to jump to the front of a very long line.); Outside the Kremlin, a picture of "Kansas" in the background, the guy who was responsible for our 8 hour delay at the Russian border because of his playboy magazines. Judy Farrar and Skip who is getting a free Russian shoe-shine in Moscow. Judy and me in front of the famous "Aurora Cruiser" in Leningrad (now, St. Petersburg, of course).

Speaking of Russia, here are a few snapshots that might ring a bell. Here we are in the train, going to or leaving Russia, clockwise : Skip, Judy, Linda, Maggie and Kim.
