Thanks to Jim for sharing these photos with us.
It is interesting to compare these recent photos with the 2003 photos of Bagh-e-Bala taken by Van Auburn. They've made a lot of progress restoring Bagh-e-Bala.

DIANE ELIZABETH FORTUNE

Teen Club Vice-President 4, Teen Club Secretary 4 ... most descriptive adjective: RAMBUNCTIOUS ... likes Senior privileges, smiling faces ... New Zealand ... dislikes hypocrites, Mondays through Thursdays (could it be because of Math IV???) ... favorite subjects: Biology, Math ... often seen at the airport ... future ambition: to be a biologist ... favorite expression: "It was really a Riot"
"If to share some female errors fail, look on her face, and you'll forget them all."
Diane's Senior Will was: "Kabul airport to anyone who has the time, transportation, and excuses to be an official greeter; also my bad reputation as a student at AISK to my sisters in hopes that they can follow it."
We all know where she is today. Diane is in heaven.
