Hi B.D.,
Too bad the negs were lost, a heart breaking thing for anyone. But a near 
killer when one works at it for a living and on assignment! :-(

I imagine you've put what you did find in a safe place so at least they will 
be part of your career legacy.  Besides not everyday does one work on a 
story such as we see in your pictures.

Sorry situation when you were there and no better today. Certainly as we 
hear the past few days "war" has started all over again.:-(

Sad state of the world when modern countries see no dollar in their pocket 
profits and just leave situations like this to sort themselves out 
regardless of the human cruelty.
