My thoughts often turn to L4U members that I have got to know the wonders of the internet over the last 20 years, many of whom are no longer with us for one reason or another.
I was prompted by Crewmeal's post to respond...
I have always wanted to visit Iran, but alas the timing has never been right: no money/no time/ill health/no go zone/war...you name it, I've been stopped by one thing or another every time I've started planning. I did get as far as looking into the visa requirements. ...crewmeal wrote: Sun Jun 15, 2025 3:38 pm
I remember flying in and out of Tehran back in the 70’s whilst the Shah was ruling and what great country it was.
These days, whenever I hear of events in Iran, especially the bombings of the last few days, I always think of Tannaz. She was a member and regular contributor of Luxor4you from it's early days and for many years. Tannaz was Iranian but was helping on a humanitarian mission in (as I recall) Iraq. Sadly, they were bombed and many were killed but Tannaz made it out alive but severely injured, requiring her to face a number of major surgeries. I remember she was moved to Paris, for more surgery I think, but sadly we lost contact although I did my best to trace her. I still miss our typed conversations, (a time before I had any voicemail gadgets) and wonder what happened to her. I know someone, maybe Tannaz or maybe someone with access to her account, would occasionally look in on L4U, but they haven't done so for years.
Experience is not what happens to you;
