Fereydoun Farah Andouz, our long-time friend, companion, and colleague, along with his esteemed wife Maryam Khamosh, lost their beloved child, our beloved child, 'Niu', in an unfortunate and bitter incident... The Persian section of Voice of America mourns the untimely loss of this child. Over the years, for more than twenty years that the Persian section of Voice of America has been at your service, our constant approach has been to weep internally and keep the bitterness within. However, this time the magnitude of this tragedy has stripped the usual joy from our regular programs, and perhaps we could not, as in the past, keep our faces red with a slap and, in an unaffected manner from events and disappointments, rush to serve you as usual. We ask for your understanding. From the colleagues of the Persian section of Voice of America, Ahmad Baharloo.
