    Mrs. Salem:
    My condolences go out to you for the loss of your husband.

    I, also, came to US in 1976 too (January 1976). At the time, I had a good friend and classmate in Buffalo, New york (in english institute), whose name was Hamdy Salem. Is it possible for you, please, to email me one of your husband’s old picture, or refer me to a site which contains your husband’s picture (may be one picture that was taken in 1976, if you have any) to see if your housband was the same as my good old friend.

    My email address is:
    fred160628@yahoo.com

    Thank you.
