-* ■ James Madison University Monday, April 6,1987 Vol. 64 No. 48 Rosser reunited with fiancee By Martin Romjue news editor DULLES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT — He stood alone in front of the arrival gate holding a long white box of a dozen red roses. He then disappeared around a corner, and returned with the box on one arm and his Soviet fiancee on the other. For JMU economics professor J. Barkley Rosser, the disappointment of a three-year separation from his Soviet fiancee came to an end Saturday at 5 p.m. as he walked with his arm around her out of the customs inspection area. "It took me three years and one day to travel this distance," said Marina Vcherashnaya, Rosser's fiancee, at an airport press conference following her arrival. "I'm completely confused," she said. Overwhelmed by her reunion with Rosser, the media attention and a long flight from Moscow, Vcherashnaya said "I can't find a proper word, I can't find a proper word," to describe how she felt. "It came quite unexpectedly," Vcherashnaya said of the resolution of her blocked marriage case. "But I was always afraid that something would turn out at the latest minute," she said of her fears that makers wouldn't work out. "I didn't feel like I was flying until I left Frankfurt (West Germany). "Everything went quite smoothly," Vcherashnaya said of her departure from the Soviet Union Saturday morning. Rosser and Vcherashnaya's separation is the first blocked marriage case to be resolved between the United States and the Soviet Union. Three more are waiting, Rosser said.
