My first trip to the US, 1963





These pictures were taken on the grounds of Rochester University. I met this lovely Iranian girl there whom I took this photo with. Wish I remembered her name!






Second photo is Mrs Rad, me and another girl. While we stayed at the university dormitories we made friends with the students. One day we were asked to make an Iranian dish for the whole group. It landed on me and Mrs Rad to do all the work. The other boys and girls in the group were too mischievous and declared their incompetence to contribute. The dishes we made found a lot of admirers and for once since arrival we felt proud to be Iranians. Here we were also interviewed by some local papers. Photos of Mrs Rad and I were published in those papers.
