In their latest Manhattan court appearance, Angelina Nikolau, 33, and Ivan Kuznetsov, 32, faced a judge Tuesday for a status conference. The couple, known for their stunts, scaled the landmark skyscraper in July to carry out a marriage proposal that went viral.
Initially, the couple was arrested on charges of reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, burglary and misdemeanor climbing of a structure. They were then released under court supervision.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
