Long, fun day at Hursley. As always, I tried to pack too much in\u2026 And left too much Undone. I saw many old friends met many new ones and left many dangling threads. Now I need to do some follow-up to make sure those threads are tied up.<\/p>\n

It was pretty fun walking around the old Pursley lab. I hadn't been inside there for 27 years and believe it or not I could still find my way around. Here's the old cafeteria . I think some of the food dates back to then.<\/p>\n

I especially appreciate my friend Bill making the trip from Germany to visit that was very helpful. He even brought his Nerf gun<\/div>\n

The Samstone was still there and it had been moved<\/p>\n

On the way home we stopped by the Chessell rectory where Diana and I were engaged . Great memories<\/p>\n
