At Lake Baikal
That's me at the right-hand end in the flowery blouse. I think prof John must have taken this with Pete Costa's camera. That's Pete in the middle there in the baseball cap. And that's Dick Jenks taking a picture back and telling everyone what to do.
The brightly dressed bumptious people are westerners, all Americans except me. The plainly dressed sceptical-looking people are Soviet Citizens. The exception is is Viktor, the smiley Soviet Citizen. He believed in the future. We are all at Lake Baikal in Siberia in 1990, discussing computer algebra under the auspices of the USSR Academy of Sciences.
This was a special place high above the lake where people tied ribbons on the trees and bushes to make wishes or prayers. You can see one on the tree trunk at the far right.
