From an article at icenetwork.com on Alexander Fadeev:
"
"Nice photo of him and his wife to accompany article.
He's still coaching in the Chicago area, where
he's lived for over 20 years."
Actually Lois Elfman, the author, got it wrong. Fadeev has been in the midwest
for 20 years since coming to the States but not in Chicago. I'm pretty sure he
settled in Midland, MI. and taught skating there for many years before moving to
Illinois. Not to long ago there was a podcast with him by a woman who posts over
at FSU and he talked about that. Apparently he was very happy in Midland but
after 9/11 in 2001 the work pretty much dried up forcing him to relocate. He
said he was very happy in Midland and would have liked to stay there but it just
didn't make economic sense to do so.
As an eligible skater I was always a big fan of Fadeev's. He was super fast over
the ice and was a great jumper. A really exciting skater. His LP in Toyko back
in 1985 when he won his only world title is one for the ages.
