well. We had 27 people there, including Jared and his
assistant, Sam Lopez. Jared spoke well and had a lively
question and answer session after he spoke. I was pleased
that I could fully support his position on all of the issues
and to see him answer questions directly and forthrightly
even when it was clear that the person asking might not
agree with his position. He never wavered. For more

Carl and Martha did yeoman duty in the kitchen including a
lot of clean up before they left. I did more clean up
yesterday and then went to the Carnegie Library to do my
stint at scanning photographs. I am working on old glass
plate negatives and it is really difficult to see the
picture until it is scanned. Marti decided that she would
scan them. It is a VERY slow process, but she has work she
can do on the computer while the scanner is doing it's
thing. I then use Photoshop to clean up the pictures and add
the watermarks and move them to the virtual library. It is
much faster for me, certainly and more interesting than
sitting waiting for the scanner.
Robert met me at 3 PM and we went together to NCAR to Dick
Valent's retirement party. It was fun. I saw a lot of
people I hadn't seen in years and was happy to realize that
Ann Cowley, as I was known at NCAR, is still remembered.
And a couple of speakers in reciting the history of the
Computing Project, of which Dick has been the leader the
last few years, my name was mentioned as the one who
initiated the project so many, many years ago. It must have
been about 1974 when I wrote the proposal to my boss.
Yesterday, e-mail from Amanda with some catch-up including
a picture of their new
boat (ship?, yacht?).
It is in Portugal and
as she said, that presents
a slight problem of getting
it to Seattle. See attached
photo. But, they are doing well.
She also sent a picture of
Alyssum in front of her cabin
and a picture of Carrie at her graduation last June at which time she
received a Masters degree
in Mathematics. Yea, Carrie.
