We had a nice lunch and visit with our friends Carl and Rene in Wilmington. We spent a very pleasant four hours with them. They are quite good gardeners, so Ginny was in hog's heaven. At the end we took the usual group photo. We have known Carl for 49 years, which is a long time. He and our friend Dabney were in the same research group with me when we were working on our PhDs at MIT. Sitting around the lunch table we remembered many good chuckles.
