Oleh and I were married October 6, 1973 and were together until we were not. We had a life filled with ups and downs, but there was a lot of Love and Laughter and Happiness! We traveled and “camped” Colorado in his yellow 1957 Porche Speedster. After we parted, we remained close. I am especially grateful for that.
Alex (as he called himself when we met) was an extremely loving and kind man. He loved Life, The Rocky Mountains, Plants, Animals and People. He was Funny and Fun; his laugh was infectious. “Such is Life” and “Close Enough….” Were his favorite comments about “Whatever”…… His nickname for me was Scoop . He and his friend, Terry Healy, came up with that since I was a Journalism major in college. Nobody knew I had a real name!
Oleh had many talents. His BEST was being a REAL FRIEND ❣️
His last few years were difficult but he maintained his sense of humor 😊
I loved him and still do❤️
