[FPSPACE] Leonov again in hospital for his heart

[Rudolf van Beest]

Hi Keith,
It was shocked reading your message. Just 9 days ago I met Leonov in Star 
City (return of the Soyuz TMA-13 crew).There was little time , because many 
people wanted to greet him. He assured me that he was feeling much 
better,although he didn't look fine.
He showed that he had not lost his sense of humour by asking me how "I" was 
doing.
I wish this nice guy all the best.
Kind regards,
Rudolf van Beest.
