Akrom visits Headland

I was a roommate of Kobil, one of your students/friends from Tashkent.  I heard about you a lot, and I visited Headland, AL a couple  of times.  You  were overseas at that time.   - Akrom, now living in Dubai

Akrom reached out to me after spotting Uncle Jim in one of my youtube videos on the Old Vann Home in Headland, AL.  I had never met him - and still haven't.  Through Kobil, who roomed with Akrom at Vanderbilt when they were getting their masters degrees, Akrom got to know Uncle Jim.  And just like with with Ulugbek, Timour and several others, Uncle Jim poured on the hospitality.  Looks like he took Akrom to Disney World!  In other photos, it looks  like Akrom's father and baby also made one of the trips to Headland.  They then likely all went to Sunnyside Beach for some R&R.  The final two images are of Akrom in Dubai.  And it looks like he has two kids now!
