Proud of my son, Lev, for how he handled this entire ordeal with focus and composure. Grateful to @sethkugel and @nytimes for capturing the insanity and the bigger picture: it’s about resilience, not lost luggage.

Air France lost a Team USA fencer's equipment bag on his way to a Grand Prix tournament in Tunisia. For months, he followed every bizarre, inconsistent instruction they sent him – even providing a receipt for his boxer briefs – but never got reimbursed. https://t.co/vmXeZImtk3
