Thanks, Sergey - great work!
        For years I had admired this fall & I even bought the terrific
painting by Jerry Armstrong, "SIKHOTE-ALIN: GROUND ZERO" and
put it atop my on line catalog. After all these years it is great to see
the actual site and the original search conducted there. Seeing is
certainly a different experience from reading about it.
        Thanks! Michael
