His brother was allowed to leave in 1981 but Gregory was required to stay almost as a hostage. What reason was he given? Oh. no reason. It is all verbal and delivered with a chuckle. We met a number of the divided spouses. I remember Tamara Tretyakova. Her 7yearold son who we met was quite a poignant sight. The 7yearold son had never met his father you see because the father. some 6 months before the young boy was born was given an exit visa and an order to leave and was told that his wife and child would be along shortly. Eight years later the son has never met his father. The reason?
